Introduction to Plasma Physics
Introduction to Plasma Physics presents the latest on plasma physics. Although plasmas are not very present in our immediate environment, there are still universal phenomena that we encounter, i.e., electric shocks and galactic jets. This book presents, in parallel, the basics of plasma theory and a number of applications to laboratory plasmas or natural plasmas. It provides a fresh look at concepts already addressed in other disciplines, such as pressure and temperature. In addition, the information provided helps us understand the links between fluid theories, such as MHD and the kinetic theory of these media, especially in wave propagation. - Presents the different phenomena that make up plasma physics - Explains the basics of plasma theory - Helps readers comprehend the various concepts related to plasmas
The Environments of the Sun and the Stars
Based on lectures given at a CNRS summer school in France, this book covers many aspects of stellar environments (both observational and theoretical) and offers a broad overview of the field. More specifically, Part I of the book focuses on the Sun, the properties of the ejected plasma, of the solar wind and on space weather. The second part deals with tides in planetary systems and in binary stellar systems, as well as with interactions in massive binary stars as seen by interferometry. Finally the chapters of Part III discuss the environments of young or evolved stars, stellar winds, agnetic fields and disks. With its broad approach the book will provide advanced students as well as researchers with a good overview of the environments of the Sun and the stars.
The Cluster and Phoenix Missions
Cluster was one of the two missions - the other being the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) - constituting the Solar Terrestrial Science Programme (STSP), the first `cornerstone' of ESA's Horizon 2000 Programme. After the catastrophic Ariane-5 accident on 4 June 1996 which destroyed the four Cluster spacecraft, the European Space Agency Science Programme Committee gave approval to refurbish the spare Cluster spacecraft and make it ready for flight. This new spacecraft, considered to be the first of a new fleet, is called Phoenix. In the meantime various options to repeat the Cluster four-point measurements are being studied. Since Phoenix, as the fifth Cluster spacecraft, will be equipped with the spare Cluster experiments, the instrumentation articles in this book are still appropriate to the new mission. Furthermore, the objectives of the recovery mission, the ground systems, the ground observation program and the theory and modelling efforts all remain unchanged. Thus this series of articles will continue to be essential to the Cluster community and to the general scientific community as the recovery mission is implemented.
Introduction à la physique des plasmas
Les plasmas sont peu présents dans notre environnement immédiat et leurs propriétés sont parfois ignorées des physiciens. Il s’agit pourtant de phénomènes universels qu’on rencontre depuis les décharges électriques jusqu’aux jets galactiques. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est d’offrir une introduction aux phénomènes variés qui constituent la physique des plasmas avec comme seul prérequis d’avoir une connaissance de la physique de base. Il présente en parallèle les fondements de la théorie des plasmas et un certain nombre d’applications aux plasmas de laboratoire ou aux plasmas naturels. Un accent particulier est mis sur l’existence des plasmas sans collision, dans lesquels le comportement collectif du milieu est dû seulement au champ électromagnétique moyen qui régit les trajectoires des particules. Ceci permet de porter un regard neuf sur des notions déjà abordées dans d’autres disciplines, mais aussi de comprendre les liens qui existent entre les théories fluides,
Addressing Global Challenges and Quality Education
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2020, held in Heidelberg, Germany, in September 2020. The 24 research papers and 20 demo and 5 poster papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The European Conference on Technology-Enhance Learning, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, is committed to address global challenges and quality education. The papers deal with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 and SDG 10, to help to reduce the existing gaps and inequalities between countries and regions from around the world in terms of inclusiveness, equity, a...
Outer Magnetospheric Boundaries: Cluster Results
When the stream of plasma emitted from the Sun (the solar wind) encounters Earth's magnetic field, it slows down and flows around it, leaving behind a cavity, the magnetosphere. The magnetopause is the surface that separates the solar wind on the outside from the Earth's magnetic field on the inside. Because the solar wind moves at supersonic speed, a bow shock must form ahead of the magnetopause that acts to slow the solar wind to subsonic speeds. Magnetopause, bow shock and their environs are rich in exciting processes in collisionless plasmas, such as shock formation, magnetic reconnection, particle acceleration and wave-particle interactions. They are interesting in their own right, as p...
Modern Trends of Physics Research
Distinguished experts in modern research areas in physics from over 35 institutions representing 15 countries were among the participants at the conference. The diverse program began with a keynote address from Noble Laureate Professor Ahmed Zewail, exploring the frontiers of physics research and its interdisciplinary relations with other fields of science. Topics included are: Part I - Atomic, Molecular, and Condensed Matter Physics; Part II - Chemical Physics, Lasers, and Electronics; and Part III - Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, and Astrophysics.
