High Temperature Plasmas – Theory and Mathematical Tools for Laser and Fusion Plasmas

NOTE EDITORE

This monograph discusses the current state of several applications and provides theoretical methods and tools for their investigations. Plasma theory is presented as a modern discipline of theoretical physics. The main emphasis is on classical plasmas as used for laser-created plasmas, plasmas for magnetic fusion, nonlinear waves, as well as important in astrophysics. Even though the role and importance of plasma physics has been increasing, only a very few existing books attempt to treat plasma physics as an advanced course in theoretical physics. In addition, modern theoretical physics provides tools necessary for analyzing nonlinear phenomena in plasmas. This work will fill this gap.

SOMMARIO

Filling the gap for a treatment of the subject as an advanced course in theoretical physics with a huge potential for future applications, this monograph discusses aspects of these applications and provides theoretical methods and tools for their investigation. Throughout this coherent and up-to-date work the main emphasis is on classical plasmas at high-temperatures, drawing on the experienced author's specialist background. As such, it covers the key areas of magnetic fusion plasma, laser-plasma-interaction and astrophysical plasmas, while also including nonlinear waves and phenomena. For master and PhD students as well as researchers interested in the theoretical foundations of plasma models.
