| Title |
Advanced Course - Plasma Physics |
| Description |
99% of visible matter in the Universe is in the state of plasma. Roughly speaking, plasma is a highly ionised gas. We distinguish laboratory plasma such as laser plasma, plasma in gas discharges, and fusion plasma in a "Tokamak" from natural plasma such as astrophysical plasma, plasma in the solar system but also fusion plasma in the Sun and stars. Most of these types of plasma can be described by the theory of collisionless plasma. In this course, the basics of plasma physics are presented and the theory of collisionless plasma by Vlasov is introduced to describe the interaction between waves and particles. Based on this, the knowledge on space plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and laboratory and fusion plasmas is summarized.
