Progress in Anisotropic Plasma Physics

In 1959 Weibel demonstrated that when a QED plasma has a temperature anisotropy there exist unstable transverse magnetic excitations which grow exponentially fast. In this paper we will review how to determine the growth rates for these unstable modes in the weak-coupling and ultrarelativistic limits in which the collective behavior is describable in terms are so-called “hard-loops”. We will sh...

Final Examination Physics 8120 : Plasma Physics

This is an open book and notes take home examination and MUST be returned to me by 10:50AM on Wednesday, December 5th, 2007. Either hand it to me personally at the beginning of our last class, or leave it in a sealed envelope in my box in 700 One Park Place. If you have any questions, you should ask me, and no one else. Note that I will be out of town from 14 November through 25 November, but w...

Solution of strongly nonlinear oscillator problem arising in Plasma Physics with Newton Harmonic Balance Method

In this paper, Newton Harmonic Balance Method (NHBM) is applied to obtain the analytical solution for an electron beam injected into a plasma tube where the magnetic field is cylindrical and increases towards the axis in inverse proportion to the radius. Periodic solution is analytically verified and consequently the relation between the Natural Frequency and the amplitude is obtained in an ana...

Computational plasma physics

Plasma physics is blossoming and flourishing. It is a very fertile research area, from both a scientific and technological point of view. It sheds light on various astroand geophysical phenomena: cosmic jets, solar flares, lightning bolts, and so on. Examples of plasma technology are, besides the classical example of discharge lamps: sterilisation, plasma medicines, removal of odour or NOx, etc...
