Introduction to plasma physics. Kuzelev M.V.

The training manual consistently sets out the basics of the theory of collective electromagnetic phenomena in plasma. The most important concepts of plasma physics are determined and the basic models used in the description of plasma are justified. Complex conductivity tensors and dielectric permeability of the environment with temporary and spatial dispersion were introduced and their properties were investigated. The basics of linear plasma electrodynamics are set out. Within the framework of the hydrodynamic theory of electromagnetic disturbances in isotropic plasma, longitudinal and transverse waves are considered, the penetration of the longitudinal and transverse electromagnetic field into plasma is investigated, the phenomena of Maxwell relaxation, diffusion and ambitular diffusion are described. Hydrodynamic electromagnetic waves in magnetoactive plasma are also considered. The kinetic theory of waves in isotropic plasma, in particular the theory of L. D. Landau of the uninhabited attenuation of the Leningrad waves in the Maxwolov, degenerate and quantum plasma. energy), the hydrodynamic instability of the electronic beam in plasma and the instability of the plasma with current, the differences between the hydrodynamic and kinetic instructions in plasma, the dissipative instability of the plasma, as well as many other problems of plasma physics.

The book is designed for specialists working in areas of physics of wave processes, plasma physics, physical electronics and radiophysics, as well as students and graduate students of the corresponding specialties.
