This text is an introduction to the physics of collisional
plasmas, as opposed to plasmas in space. It is intended for
graduate students in physics and engineering . The first chapter
introduces with progressively increasing detail, the fundamental
concepts of plasma physic. The motion of individual charged
particles in various configurations of electric and magnetic fields
is detailed in the second chapter while the third chapter considers
the collective motion of the plasma particles described according
to a hydrodynamic model. The fourth chapter is most original in
that it introduces a general approach to energy balance, valid for
all types of discharges comprising direct current(DC) and high
frequency (HF) discharges, including an applied static magnetic
field. The basic concepts required in this fourth chapter have been
progressively introduced in the previous chapters.
The text is enriched with approx. 100 figures, and alphabetical
index and 45 fully resolved problems. Mathematical and physical
appendices provide complementary information or allow to go deeper
in a given subject.
