What is another word for plasma acceleration?
Pronunciation: [plˈazməɹ ɐksˌɛləɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Plasma acceleration refers to the process by which a plasma, a gas that has been partially ionized into charged particles, is accelerated to high energies. There are several synonyms for plasma acceleration, including plasma thruster, plasma propulsion, and plasma jet. These terms are often used interchangeably and refer to methods of generating thrust in spacecraft by heating a plasma and using its energy to propel the spacecraft forward. Other related terms include electric propulsion and ion propulsion, which both rely on charged particles to generate thrust. Plasma acceleration is an important area of research in space exploration and holds the potential to enable faster, more efficient travel in space.
