Plasma Physics
- Book Review,
by Ian S. Falconer (Editor)
From Book News, Inc.
The proceedings from the 2002 biennial International Congress on Plasma Physics cover all aspects of the field--from low-temperature plasmas to fusion plasmas, and industrial applications to astrophysics. Falconer (U. of Sydney) and co-editors include more than 200 applied and theoretical topics such as wave propagation and plasma production in planar microwave discharges using a slot antenna of rotating mode, investigations of a pulsed cathodic vacuum arc, simulation of hysteresis in glow discharge, and ionospheric response to flux transfer events at the Earth's magnetopause. A companion CD-ROM is sold separately for $125, ISBN: 0-7354-0134-9.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
The dominant theme of the International Congress on Plasma Physics 2002 was the unity of plasma physics, covering all aspects, from low-temperature plasmas to fusion plasmas, from industrial applications to astrophysics, and all three approaches to investigating physical phenomena: experiment, observation, and theory/computation. Topics include: experiments on laboratory devices, low-temperature plasmas, magnetic confinement, inertial confinement and beams, plasma applications, and experimental simulation of phenomena observed in natural plasmas; plasma theory and simulation, kinetic theory and transport modeling, statistical mechanics, atomic, and molecular processes, macroscopic equilibrium and stability, waves and nonlinear dynamics, flowing and rapidly changing plasmas, and particle acceleration and transport; observations of natural plasmas, planetary atmospheres, ionospheres, and auroral regions, planetary magnetospheres and space weather, solar wind and outer heliosphere, and solar and coronal physics.
