Paperback. This book explores the physics of fast ions and fast ion- driven instabilities. It also describes modern theory of near- critical nonlinear wave particle systems with the particle source and wave damping. Such a theory was developed by H.L. Berk and B.N. Breizman in the mid- 1990s, and it delivered outstanding results successfully explaining the experimentally observed collective phenomena driven by energetic ions.A systematic and step-by-step analysis of resonant interactions between the waves in plasmas and various types of energetic ion populations is presented and analyzed, taking the readers on an exciting journey into the world of nonlinear physics and cutting-edge experiments performed on the worlds major magnetic fusion machines.The phenomena described in this book will be of interest for researchers studying fusion, solar plasma, space plasma, and for a broader realm of scientists working in nonlinear phenomena.Key Features:Features experimental data and the Berk-Breizman theory on nonlinear evolution of energetic particle-driven wavesDescribes in simple terms, the recent advances in the diagnostics of energetic particles and Alfven wavesPresents a systematic overview of extrapolating results presented in other types of plasmas (e.g., solar and space) and nonlinear systems. This book explores the outstanding and rather novel diagnostics of the fast ions and fast ion-driven instabilities coupled to modern theory of near-critical nonlinear wave-particle systems with the particle source and wave damping.

This book explores the physics of fast ions and fast ion- driven instabilities. It also describes modern theory of near- critical nonlinear wave– particle systems with the particle source and wave damping. Such a theory was developed by H.L. Berk and B.N. Breizman in the mid- 1990s, and it delivered outstanding results successfully explaining the experimentally observed collective phenomena driven by energetic ions.
A systematic and step-by-step analysis of resonant interactions between the waves in plasmas and various types of energetic ion populations is presented and analyzed, taking the readers on an exciting journey into the world of nonlinear physics and cutting-edge experiments performed on the world’s major magnetic fusion machines.
The phenomena described in this book will be of interest for researchers studying fusion, solar plasma, space plasma, and for a broader realm of scientists working in nonlinear phenomena.
Key Features:
- Features experimental data and the Berk-Breizman theory on nonlinear evolution of energetic particle-driven waves
- Describes in simple terms, the recent advances in the diagnostics of energetic particles and Alfvén waves
- Presents a systematic overview of extrapolating results presented in other types of plasmas (e.g., solar and space) and nonlinear systems.

About the Author
Boris Breizman is an expert in theoretical plasma physics. His research deals with linear and nonlinear waves in plasmas, with applications to magnetic fusion, beam-plasma interactions, space plasma, plasma-based propulsion, and laser-plasma interactions. He held the positions of Leading Scientist at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (1986-1992) and Professor at Novosibirsk State University (1981-1992). Since joining the Institute for Fusion Studies in 1993, Dr. Breizman has made significant new contributions to three important areas: wave-particle interaction in magnetically confined plasma, plasma propulsion project at NASA, and physics of laser-irradiated clusters. In 1998 the Czech Academy of Sciences awarded him its Ernst Mach Honorary Medal for Merit in the Physical Sciences. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Sergei Sharapov is Principal Research Scientist at Culham Campus of UKAEA. He graduated in experimental nuclear physics from Moscow Physical Technical Institute in 1985, and did his PhD in physics and chemistry of plasmas at Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow. Subsequently, he worked at Kuchatov IAE on the theory of nonlinear waves and energetic particle-driven Alfvén waves. In 1993, he moved to work on JET and on the spherical tokamaks START and MAST, located at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, UK. Dr. Sharapov's areas of interest and expertise lie in the theory, experiment, and diagnosis of energetic particles and energetic particle-driven instabilities in magnetic fusion devices.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AussieBookSeller, Truganina, Victoria, Australia, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
