Plasma Waves

From Book News, Inc.
Swanson (physics, Auburn U.) describes recent research in plasma waves, including electron cyclotron emission, collisions, relativistic effects, Landau damping, tunneling equations, and wave theories. His chapter topics include waves in cold uniform plasma and fluid plasma, the kinetic theory of plasma waves, bounded homogeneous plasmas, waves in inhomogeneous plasmas, quasilinear theory, and finite amplitude plasma waves. Appendices include information on complex variables, special functions in plasma physics, and the amplitude equations of geometric optics. Swanson updates this textbook with more real plots and material on absorption. He includes solutions for exercises. Distributed in the US by AIDC.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
