The Latin American Workshop on Plasma Physics has become the meeting place for the plasma physics community of the region. It covers the complete spectrum of plasmas, from space plasmas to industrial plasmas. Topics include: basic plasma physics, electric discharges, plasma applications, space plasmas, Tokamak plasmas, and transient dense plasmas.
Plasma Spectroscopy develops the foundation of spectroscopy for plasmas containing quasi-monochromatic electric fields in the microwaves or optical range. This topic is of major importance for plasma spectroscopy and the diagnostic of technological microwave and radiofrequency discharges, plasma lasers of microwave, optical, and x-ray ranges, pulsed discharges employed as advanced radiation sources, magnetic and laser fusion, and ionospheric and astrophysical plasmas. This monograph presents novel nonlinear-optical methods for theoretical analysis of radiation of quantum systems in media, describes principles for measuring the field and plasma parameters, and discusses their practical applications.
The proceedings of the Eleventh APS Topical Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas benchmarks the ongoing research developments in the interdisciplinary interaction between atomic and plasma physicists as they tackle large scale applied research problems in magnetic fusion, x-ray lasers, astrophysics, inertial fusion, and materials processing.
There's a whole universe out there... Imagine you had a spacecraft capable of travelling through interstellar space. You climb in, blast into orbit, fly out of the solar system and keep going. Where do you end up, and what do you see along the way? The answer is: mostly nothing. Space is astonishingly, mind-blowingly empty. As you travel through the void between galaxies your spaceship encounters nothing more exciting than the odd hydrogen molecule. But when it does come across something more exotic: wow! First and most obviously, stars and planets. Some are familiar from our own backyard: yellow suns, rocky planets like Mars, gas and ice giants like Jupiter and Neptune. But there are many m...
Non-neutral plasmas are clouds of electrons or ions or anti-matter particles contained in a vacuum by magnetic and electric fields. Experiments on these simplest of plasmas give precise tests of basic theories of equilibrium, waves, and cross-field transport. Technical applications include positron beams, mass spectroscopy, quantum computing, and beams for free-electron lasers.
Ian Stewart's up-to-the-minute guide to the cosmos moves from the formation of the Earth and its Moon to the planets and asteroids of the solar system and from there out into the galaxy and the universe. He describes the architecture of space and time, dark matter and dark energy, how galaxies form, why stars implode, how everything began, and how it will end. He considers parallel universes, what forms extra-terrestrial life might take, and the likelihood of Earth being hit by an asteroid. Mathematics, Professor Stewart shows, has been the driving force in astronomy and cosmology since the ancient Babylonians. He describes how Kepler's work on planetary orbits led Newton to formulate his th...
The APS Topical Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas brings together researchers working in atomic physics and in plasma science, emphasizing the strong and synergistic overlap of these fields. The latest developments in atomic physics reported are recent advances in plasma science, such as in magnetic or inertial confinement fusion, Z-pinches, astrophysics, and technical plasma processing.
This conference is an international forum to discuss fundamental and applied research associated with the formation of spectral line profiles. It includes research involving line profiles observed in absorption, emission, and scattering by laboratory and astrophysical sources. The conference brings together specialists from many diverse fields to discuss common aspects of line shape theory and experiments. Areas covered in the conference included: laser-produced plasmas, magnetically confined plasmas, stellar atmospheres, molecular and atomic systems, high-resolution spectroscopic applications and measurements, collision-induced effects, and ultracold regimes. Papers on experiments, theory, and applications are included in this volume.
