Description

This is the third volume in a set of books describing state-of-the-art theories and applications of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. This volume presents advanced kinetic theory, aiming to fill the gap between plasma physics textbooks and up-to-date research developments in this field. Due to the complexity of magnetic confinement geometry, kinetic theory for fusion plasmas is also inherently complex. This requires in-depth physical considerations and skilled mathematical treatments. Guiding center theory, drift kinetic theory, gyrokinetic theory, as well as kinetic variational principles are thoroughly reviewed. Applications of these theories to fusion plasma research are also described. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in plasma physics.
