Abstract
On place des articles devant être stérilisés dans un volume confiné et on les soumet aux particules neutres d'une décharge électrique, tout en maintenant le volume exempt d'incandescence et de champ par interposition d'une barrière entre les articles et la décharge, la barrière étant transparente aux particules neutres et opaque aux particules chargées provenant de la décharge.
