ECE/NE/PHYSICS 725

Coulomb Collisions, Boltzmann equation, Fokker-Planck methods, dynamical friction, neoclassical diffusion, collision operators radiation processes and experimental applications. Basic knowledge of plasmas [such asPHYSICS/E C E/N E 525] and advanced electromagnetics [such asPHYSICS 721orE C E 740] strongly encouraged.

LABORATORY COURSE IN PLASMAS

NE 526

Provides a background in the techniques for creating, exciting, and measuring the properties of lab plasmas and using the associated apparatus.

INTRODUCTION TO PLASMAS

ECE/NE/PHYSICS 525

Basic description of plasmas: collective phenomena and sheaths, collisional processes, single particle motions, fluid models, equilibria, waves, electromagnetic properties, instabilities, and introduction to kinetic theory and nonlinear processes. Examples from fusion, astrophysical and materials processing processing plasmas.

SEMINAR IN PLASMA PHYSICS

ECE/NE/PHYSICS 922

Current topics in plasma physics.

WAVES AND INSTABILITIES IN PLASMAS

ECE/NE/PHYSICS 724

Waves in a cold plasma, wave-plasma interactions, waves in a hot plasma, Landau damping, cyclotron damping, magneto-hydrodynamic equilibria and instabilities, microinstabilities, introduction to nonlinear processes, and experimental applications. Basic knowledge of plasmas [such asPHYSICS/E C E/N E 525] and advanced electromagnetics [such asPHYSICS 721orE C E 740] strongly encouraged.
