Introduction to plasma physics / Robert J. Goldston and Paul H. Rutherford. - Bristol, UK ; Philadelphia : Institute of Physics Pub., c1995. - xvii, 491 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. + 2 computer disks (3 1/2 in.)
Introduction to Plasma Physics is the standard text for an introductory lecture course on plasma physics. The text’s six sections lead readers systematically and comprehensively through the fundamentals of modern plasma physics. Sections on single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids, and collisional processes in plasmas lay the groundwork for a thorough understanding of the subject. The authors take care to place the material in its historical context for a rich understanding of the ideas presented. They also emphasize the importance of medical imaging in radiotherapy, providing a logical link to more advanced works in the area. The text includes problems, tables, and illustrations as well as a thorough index and a complete list of references.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 485-486) and index.
