摘要：

The recent results of the kinetic theory of dusty plasmas [V. N. Tsytovich and U. de Angelis, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1093 (1999)] are used to investigate the distribution and fluctuations of the dust charges in dusty plasmas. It is shown that the charge fluctuations induced by dust discreteness can be larger than the fluctuations due to electron and ion discreteness. A new Lorentz form for the regular part of the dust charge distribution is found. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
