APPH E6101x Class Homepage APPH E6101x Site Information Plasma Physics 1 Prof. Michael Mauel Email: Welcome to the APPH E6101x class information site. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in plasma physics. Plasma physics is the study of 'luminous matter', matter that has been heated sufficiently or prepared specially in order to be ionized. In plasma long-range electromagnetic forces are much more important than short range forces. Plasma dynamics is often dominated by 'collective' motion involving the correlated motion of large populations of neighboring particles.

Since plasma motion generates electric and magnetic fields, plasma behavior exhibits sometimes very beautiful nonlinear physics. Plasma is studied in the laboratory and in space. Most of the visible universe is in the plasma state. Laboratory generated plasma are used to studied the fundamental properties of high-temperature matter, and they are employed for many valuable applications like surface processing and lighting. Integrated circuits are manufactured using plasma processing, and plasma displays are status symbols of today's world of entertainment. Controlled fusion energy research reflects the remarkable success of plasma physics. The controlled release of more than 10 MW of fusion power has occurred within the strong confining fields of tokamak devices, and the world is now building the first experimental fusion power source, called.

Topics covered include: Motion of charged particles in space- and time-varying electromagnetic fields. Kinetic description of plasmas. Collisional Boltzmann equation (and collision operators in Fokker-Planck forms.) Classical transport equations and collisional relaxation processes.

Linear electrostatic and electromagnetic waves in field-free plasmas. Vlasov equation and Landau damping. APPH 6101 requires a prior experience with electromagnetics (and some electrodynamics) and partial differential equations.

The formal prerequisites are and The goal of this course is to provide a solid understanding of both the fundamental aspects of plasma physics and introduce students to research problems in the fields of laboratory and space plasma physics. The primary course textbook is Introduction to Plasma Physics by and. This is an excellent introduction to plasma physics, and we will be following the outline of textbook in the course. The Amazon.com link to this text is. I will occasionally refer to another excellent (but very optional) textbook that has more examples from the laboratory and from fusion research. This is Introduction to Plasma Physics by Rob Goldtson and Paul Rutherford. (The Amazon.com link to this text is.) Feel free to contact me, anytime.

I also try to answer my emails frequently. If you have have question (even if you're stuck on a homework problem),. Lectures will be held every Thursday evening, 5:00-7:30 PM, in Room 214, S. Mudd Building.

A student's grade for the course will be based primarily on one closed-book midterm (25%) and one final exam (50%). The midterm date will be October 27. I will also assign weekly homework assignments that count only for about 25% of your final grade. Completing these homeworks will be the most important action you can take to learn the material. Homeworks are due at the beginning of the following class period.
