Developed from the lectures of a leading expert in plasma wave
research, Plasma Kinetic Theory provides the essential material for
an introductory course on plasma physics as well as the basis for a
more advanced course on kinetic theory. Exploring various wave
phenomena in plasmas, it offers wide-ranging coverage of the field.
After introducing basic kinetic equations and the Lenard-Balescu
equation, the book covers the important Vlasov-Maxwell equations.
The solutions of these equations in linear and quasilinear
approximations comprise the majority of kinetic theory. Another
main topic in kinetic theory is to assess the effects of collisions
or correlations in waves. The author discusses the effects of
collisions in magnetized plasma and calculates the different
transport coefficients, such as pressure tensor, viscosity, and
thermal diffusion, that depend on collisions.
With worked examples and problem sets that enable sound
comprehension, this text presents a detailed, mathematical approach
to applying plasma kinetic theory to diffusion processes in
plasmas.
