Basic plasma physics I
Abstract
This book is the result of a decision of a Soviet publishing house and a Dutch publishing company to publish jointly a handbook of plasma physics, in both Russian and English. The first two volumes are devoted to fundamental plasma physics, while subsequent volumes are to be concerned with more specialized topics, such as space plasma physics, thermonuclear fusion, and computer plasma physics. In volume 1, attention is given to aspects of plasma description, elementary and radiative processes, oscillations and waves, instabilities, and the theory of weakly turbulent plasma. Questions of charged particle motion in electromagnetic fields are considered along with elementary nonradiative processes, radiation processes in plasmas, an MHD description of plasma, collisional transport in plasma, linear wave propagation in ideal magnetohydrodynamics, the kinetic theory of waves, and geometric optics in space and time varying plasmas. No individual items are abstracted in this volume
