A Plasma Formulary for Physics, Technology and Astrophysics

"Plasma physics has matured rapidly as a discipline and now touches on many different research areas, including manufacturing processes. This collection of fundamental formulae and definitions in plasma physics is vital to anyone with an interest in plasmas or ionized gases, whether in physics, astronomy or engineering." "Ranging over plasma waves, flows, beams and jets, instabilities, particle drifts and kinetic theory, model equations and parametric data, this handbook will become an indispensable quick reference to the formulae needed for the active plasma researcher. Both theories and experiments will find this book useful, as it incorporates the latest results and findings."--Jacket.
