Zusatztext "? 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 Informationen zum Autor Nezlin\, M.V Klappentext 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.
