Couverture de l’ouvrage Introduction to Plasma Physics

Introduction to Plasma Physics is the standard text for an introductory lecture course on plasma physics. The text?s six sections lead readers systematically and comprehensively through the fundamentals of modern plasma physics. Sections on single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids, and collisional processes in plasmas lay the groundwork for a thorough understanding of the subject. The authors take care to place the material in its historical context for a rich understanding of the ideas presented. They also emphasize the importance of medical imaging in radiotherapy, providing a logical link to more advanced works in the area. The text includes problems, tables, and illustrations as well as a thorough index and a complete list of references.

Plasma physics is one of the most active research areas in modern physics. Most of the visible universe is in the plasma state, and plasma phenomena are of major importance in space, solar and ionospheric physics. Here on Earth one of the most ambitious scientific and technological undertakings of the twentieth century has been the quest for controlled thermonuclear fusion - for which plasma physics is the key underlying scientific discipline. Designed as a textbook for both graduate and advanced undergraduate students, Introduction to Plasma Physics is organized into six units which lead the reader comprehensively through the fundamentals of modern plasma physics. Units on single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids and collisional processes in plasmas lay the groundwork for the understandi
