Plasma physics is an important subject for a large number of research
areas including space physics, astrophysics, controlled fusion
research, high-power laser physics, plasma processing, accelerator
physics, and many areas of experimental physics. The primary goal of
this course is to present the basic principles and main equations of
plasma physics at an introductory level, with emphasis on topics of
broad applicability.
A plasma may be generally defined as any statistical collection of
mobile
charged
particles.
Thus
statistical
physics
and
electrodynamics provide the fundamental basis for the physics of
plasmas. An undergraduate course in classical electrodynamics (such
as PHYS 302) is the only prerequisite for the course; relevant aspects
of statistical physics and mechanics are reviewed or introduced as
needed.
The required text for the course is "Plasma Dynamics" by R. O.
Dendy. This book is chosen because it contains a nice balance
between mathematical formulations and physical principles, it is
clearly written, and it uses an appealing logical organization of the
subject which provides an excellent framework for a first course in
plasma physics. The well-known text "Introduction to Plasma Physics
and Controlled Fusion" by F. F. Chen is a recommended text for the
course, and in many ways it complements and reinforces material
covered in Dendy's book.
The course begins with a description of various types of plasmas and
a discussion of some basic plasma parameters, such as the Debye
length and the plasma frequency. Following a discussion of charged
particle motion in electromagnetic fields, progressively more detailed
models of plasmas are presented, starting with a dielectric description
of cold plasma and moving on to the magnetohydrodynamic and
kinetic descriptions. Additional topics may be added as time allows.
Students are required to give a presentation to the class on a plasma
physics topic related to the course.
