CRC Press Physics of Intense Beams in Plasmas: 2 (Series in Plasma Physics)

Physics of Intense Beams in Plasmas is a comprehensive description of the interaction between extremely intense particle beams and plasmas. The emphasis is on experimental beam-plasma physics, but the necessary theory is also explained-much of which is innovative and original. Central to the book is the discussion of beam instabilities, emphasizing their hydrodynamic nature. Review "… a clear and concise description of the many instabilities which exist in a beam in free propagation which casts new light on these phenomena … written in a very clear style … highly interesting to read … has a good bibliography … I strongly recommend this book as a good purchase for anybody working in the area of beam transport." -Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion "… a beautifully organized and written book … a valuable resource-a real physicist's book. … Nezlin's book is written for experimentalists … just the right amount of detail … sufficient physical insight … to understand and design experiments. … no one else … could have produced such a knowledgeable treatise. If any researcher wants to do experiments with beams in plasmas, this book would be the ideal start." -Professor F.F. Chen, UCLA About the Author Nezlin\, M.V
