Preface

Most of the matter in the universe is in a state called plasma. It exhibits complex and rich phenomena. Studying plasmas is essential for technology development and applications in tokamak reactors, medicine, and the environment. Plasma physics studies also allow an un‐

The aim of this book is to provide a basic knowledge of plasma science and technology to the common reader. The book will be useful for researchers and students. It provides a large overview from basic fundamentals to modern applications related to plasma science and technology. This was reached by presenting new experimental and theoretical results, and
