Focusing on wave phenomena in plasmas, this text provides the essential material for an introductory course on plasma physics as well as the basis for a more advanced course on kinetic theory. It covers fundamental kinetic equations, such as the Klimontovich and Liouville equations, before using Fourier and Laplace transforms to solve the Lenard?Balescu equation. The author compares Vlasov and Maxwell models for collisional corrections to Landau damping and investigates the effects of collisions on various transport coefficients. With mathematical functions and collision integrals in the appendices, the text includes many problems, along with a solution manual for qualifying instructors.
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.
