Principles of Plasma Diagnostics
This book provides a systematic introduction to the physics behind measurements on plasmas. The book is therefore accessible to graduate students and professionals with little specific plasma physics background, but is also a valuable reference for seasoned plasma physicists. It develops from first principles the concepts needed to plan, execute, and interpret plasma diagnostics.
This second edition is thoroughly revised and updated, with new sections and chapters covering recent developments in the field. Most of the examples are taken from laboratory plasma research, but the focus on principles makes the treatment useful to all experimental and theoretical plasma physicists, including those interested in space and astrophysical applications. Specific areas of added coverage include neutral-beam-based diagnostics, flow measurement with mach probes, equilibrium of strongly shaped plasmas and fusion product diagnostics.
