Introduction to plasma physics[electronic resource] /Gérard Belmont, Laurence Rezeau, Caterina Riconda, Arnaud Zaslavsky. - London, UK :ISTE Press Ltd,2019. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Front Cover; Introduction to Plasma Physics; Copyright Page; Contents; Introduction; 1 What Is Plasma?; 1.1. Under what conditions is matter in the plasma state?; 1.2. Plasma diagnostics: remote or in situ; 1.3. Effects that dominate physics; 1.4. Coupled field/particle system: general case; 1.5. Special case: plasma oscillation; 1.6. Plasma frequency; 1.7. Effects of temperature; 1.8. Some examples of application of plasma physics; 2 Individual Trajectories in an Electromagnetic Field; 2.1. Trajectory of a particle in a uniform and stationary magnetic field; 2.2. Slowly variable fields

Introduction to Plasma Physics presents the latest on plasma physics. Although plasmas are not very present in our immediate environment, there are still universal phenomena that we encounter, i.e., electric shocks and galactic jets. This book presents, in parallel, the basics of plasma theory and a number of applications to laboratory plasmas or natural plasmas. It provides a fresh look at concepts already addressed in other disciplines, such as pressure and temperature. In addition, the information provided helps us understand the links between fluid theories, such as MHD and the kinetic theory of these media, especially in wave propagation.
