Description

Book Synopsis
Deals with the propagation and absorption of high frequency waves in plasmas (hot fully ionized gases), a subject on which work is very active in controlled fusion research and in astrophysics. This book could therefore be useful as a source for courses on electromagnetism or classical kinetic theory at a medium to advanced level.

Trade Review
This well organised text on hot plasma theory is written for fusion physicists researching high frequency heating and current drive.

Table of Contents
Preface ; Index ; Introduction ; 1. Plasma Electrodynamics ; 2. Elementary plasma kinetic theory ; 3. The hot plasma dielectric tensor ; 4. Waves in cold plasma ; 5. Waves in hot plasma ; 6. The electrostatic and fluid approximations ; 7. Linear wave-particle interactions ; 8. Collisionless stochacity ; 9. Quasilinear theory and current drive ; 10. Nonlinear effects associated with H.F. Heating
