9783540578444: Lectures on Non-Linear Plasma Kinetics: Vol 17 (Physics of Atoms and Molecules)

Synopsis

This is an introduction to modern non-linear plasma physics, showing how many of the techniques of modern non-linear physics find applications in plasma physics and how, in turn, the results of this research find applications in astrophysics. Emphasis is given to explaining the physics of non-linear processes and the radical change of cross-sections by collective effects. The text discusses new non-linear phenomena involving the excitation of coherent non-linear structures and the dynamics of their random motions in relation to new self-organization processes. It also gives a detailed description of applications of the general theory to various research fields, including the interaction of powerful radiation with matter, controlled thermonuclear research, and more.

Review

"...can be recommended not only to postgraduate students in plasma physics but also to active researchers, who will find quite a few new ways of approach to many a problem they are concerned with and possibly many subjects they are not so familiar with." Institute of Physics
