22.611J / 6.651J / 8.613J Introduction To Plasma Physics I, Fall 2002

Title:	22.611J / 6.651J / 8.613J Introduction To Plasma Physics I, Fall 2002
Author:	Molvig, Kim
Issue Date:	2002-12
Abstract:	Introduces plasma phenomena relevant to energy generation by controlled thermonuclear fusion and to astrophysics. Basic plasma properties and collective behavior. Coulomb collisions and transport processes. Motion of charged particles in magnetic fields; plasma confinement schemes. MHD models; simple equilibrium and stability analysis. Two-fluid hydrodynamic plasma models; wave propagation in a magnetic field. Introduces kinetic theory; Vlasov plasma model; electron plasma waves and Landau damping; ion-acoustic waves; streaming instabilities. A subject description tailored to fit the background and interests of the attending students distributed shortly before and at the beginning of the subject.
