Märksõnad:
Astrophysicists Belmont Grappin, Mottez, Pantellini, and Pelletier present a basic textbook of plasma physics, and so encompass most classical topics of the discipline, such as turbulence, magnetic reconnection, linear waves, instability, and nonlinear effects. Their focus is on the collisionless limit and the consequences of the different modelings, fluid or kinetic in this case. Most of the examples are from the space physics of planetary magnetopsheres and solar wind. They cover plasma description and plasma models; the magnetized plasmas; collisional-collisionless; waves in plasmas; nonlinear effects, shocks, and turbulence; flow and particle acceleration processes; the transport and acceleration of cosmic rays; and the kinetic-fluid duality.
