This book builds on the fluid and kinetic theory of equilibria and
waves presented in a companion textbook, Basic Space Plasma Physics
(by the same authors), but can also serve as a stand-alone text. It
extends the field covered there into the domain of plasma
instability and nonlinear theory.
The book provides a representative selection of the many
possible macro- and microinstabilities in a space plasma, from the
Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz to electrostatic and
electromagnetic kinetic instabilities. Their quasilinear
stabilization and nonlinear evolution and their application to
space physics problems are treated. The chapters on nonlinear
theory include nonlinear waves, weak turbulence and strong
turbulence, all presented from the viewpoint of their relevance to
space plasma physics. Special topics include auroral particle
acceleration, soliton formation and caviton collapse, anomalous
transport, and the theory of collisionless shocks.
