Elections to the Plasma Physics Board

Introduction to Plasma Physics

These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes, and thus provide a foundation for the more advanced expositions that follow in this volume. No prior knowledge of plasma physics is required, but the reader is...

Democracy at Work ? School Board Elections and Reform

Debates over urban school reform have become voluminous and heated, and scholarly research has focused primarily on the impact of various reforms. Research should also trace the impact of conflicts over political reform on voting in school board elections. We examine three school board elections in St. Louis between 2003 and 2006. In each election, the mayor organized a supported a slate of ref...

Working agreement between the American Board of Radiology and The American Board of Medical Physics, Inc.

To the Editor, The American Board of Medical Physics ~ABMP! wishes to share information regarding the recent adoption of a Working Agreement with the American Board of Radiology ~ABR!. As the Working Agreement deals with the certification of medical physicists, we believe it to be important to the clinical medical physicist. This information will be of interest to junior medical physicists, who...

My advice to ITER-Driven Plasma Physics

Comparing the device of ITER with ICF, I strongly notice that I have an advice to ITER Driven Plasma Physics. I used to study laser-plasma interaction which relates to a strong spontaneous magnetic field (in axial or in azimuthal direction) and found a new particle acceleration named laser-magnetic resonance acceleration (LMRA). The electron acceleration depends not only on the electromagnetic ...
