Advanced plasma physics

About this book

The book covers fundamental topics in plasma physics, such as waves in plasmas, instability and nonlinear processes. After an in-depth theoretical description, the author uses satellite observations of these phenomena in space plasmas - such as the earth's ionosphere, magnetosphere and solar wind.

The last part of the book deals with the interactions of charged bodies with a plasma. In the case of satellite measurements, we are dealing with an external magnetic field and with the motion of the satellite in the plasma. Since there is no exact theory in these circumstances, approximate methods are used which lead to credible estimates. For these topics, the theories presented are compared to satellite measurements, and in particular to the results of the TSS (Tethered Satellite System) mission.
