Résumé

This extended and revised edition of Plasma Waves provides the ideal contemporary companion for advanced students studying plasma waves and includes modern and complete treatments of electron cyclotron emission, collisions, relativistic effects, Landau damping, quasilinear and nonlinear wave theory and tunnelling equations. Although designed as a textbook it also provides researchers with an essential reference to the basic formula and categorises the various possible types of waves and their interactions.

The broad scope encompasses waves in cold, warm and hot plasmas and relativistic plasma waves. Special chapters deal with the effects of boundaries, inhomogeneities and non-linear effects. All formulae are derived to allow a greater appreciation of the subject, and though the emphasis is theoretical, several fundamental wave experiments are described.

Introduction
Waves in a Cold Uniform Plasma
Waves in Fluid Plasmas.
Kinetic Theory of Plasma Waves
Bounded Homogeneous Plasmas
Waves in Inhomogeneous Plasmas
Quasilinear theory
Finite Amplitude Plasma
