What it is about

You receive an introduction to plasma physics: fundamentals, typical models and applications in nature and technology. At the end you will be able to describe basic plasma phenomena, explain the behavior of charged particles and plasmas in magnetic fields, as well as analyze stability, instabilities and Alfvén waves and explain simple plasma diagnostics and applications.

What you will be able to do

  • name the essential properties of plasmas and differences to the ideal gas
  • describe the dynamics of charged particles and plasmas in magnetic fields
  • explain simple concepts of magnetic confinement
  • investigate plasmas for stability
  • describe the dynamics of instabilities and Alfvén waves
  • explain methods of plasma diagnostics and technical applications

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungDelivery of theoretical foundations and experimental implementations; vivid examples and cross-references to universal concepts
  • ÜbungDeepening and practice of the contents using problem examples and analysis programs; preparation for the examination

Teaching method

  • Vortrag & TafelanschriebExplanation of theoretical foundations and their experimental realization
  • Bilder / anschauliche BeispieleVisualization of applications and phenomena
  • Interaktive DiskussionPromotes understanding through questions and exchange
  • Übungsaufgaben und AnalyseprogrammePractice of the contents and application to concrete problems
  • Vorlesungsunterlagen mit LiteraturhinweisenEnable independent research and deeper study
