The book explains how magnetized plasmas self-organize in states of electromagnetic turbulence that transports particles and energy out of the core plasma faster than anticipated by the fusion scientists designing magnetic confinement systems in the 20th century. It describes theory, experiments and simulations in a unified and up-to-date presentation of the issues of achieving nuclear fusion power.
The promise of a vast and clean source of thermal power drove physics research for over fifty years and has finally come to collimation with the international consortium led by the European Union and Japan, with an agreement from seven countries to build a definitive test of fusion power in ITER. It happened because scientists since the Manhattan project have envisioned controlled nuclear fusion in obtaining energy with no carbon dioxide emissions and no toxic nuclear waste products.This large toroidal magnetic confinement ITER machine is described from confinement process to advanced physics of plasma-wall interactions, where pulses erupt from core plasma blistering the machine walls.

This book develops the subject of nonlinear plasma physics from a general physics perspective. It begins with a description of nonlinear oscillations, the parametric instability, the pendulum, and the nonlinear island overlap criterion. The Kolomogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory is analyzed. Laboratory visualizations of the KAM theory are presented for experiments in toroidal plasma confinement and rotating fluids. The subjects of transport in E x B flows and geostrophic flows are developed in parallel, stressing the generality of the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation. The dual nature of wave turbulence and vortex dynamics is developed for plasmas and geophysical flows. The presentation of the subject of nonlinear maps shows how maps are related to the nonlinear dynamics in plasma physics problems. Numerous space plasma and fusion physics examples are developed throughout the book. The final chapter deals with turbulence theory, renormalized mode coupling equations, and Kolomogorov-type spectra as modified for anisotropic plasmas.
Presents the papers from a conference, the purpose of which was to advance the understanding of the transport of heat across magnetic fields in high temperature plasmas by presenting the latest theoretical, computational and experimental results for ion temperature gradient driven transport.

Papers from twenty-nine of the world's leading scientists investigate the statistical properties of nonlinear dynamical systems, emphasizing their relation to the problem of plasma confinement. A powerful, new diagrammatic peturbation theory is presented for a first principles calculation of the Clump Kinetic equation, and for the first time, detailed calculations and experimental considerations describe the practical consequences of these correlations. Unique to this book is the collection of works on the problem of long-lived correlations in phase space of the Vlasov Poisson system. A new method of computing Lyapunov exponents from experimental data, and a method for calculating the splitting of periodic orbits in conservative systems are developed.
