In this work we present results of studies of dust crystal generated in plasma by the slowing-down proton beam in
inert gases (He, Ar, Kr). For the first time in a region of the proton beam stable ordered dusty
formations – "dusty plasma crystal" from dust grains of 1.0; 3.0; 4.8 µm diameters were obtained. The mathematical
model that allowed us to perform numerical simulation of the crystal formation from dust grains in the proton beam
plasma has been developed.
