Introduction to High-Temperature Plasma Physics — •Golo Fuchert — Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Greifswald, Deutschland

Although not always noticed in daily life, plasmas are surprisingly common, both in the universe and in the lab. A plasma is a essentially a "gas" of electrons and ions with no net charge to the outside. This gives rise to collective behavior and complex dynamics of particles. This is especially true in the presence of magnetic fields, as it is often found in astrophysical plasmas and in magnetically confined plasmas for fusion research. In this tutorial lecture, after introduction the basic characteristics of plasmas, we are going to look at common examples of high-temperature plasmas, theoretical methods to describe their dynamics and experimental methods to study them.
