47 Plasma Physics - Device-Specific (Publications)
* Wesson, John. _Tokamaks_ [309 p.] Oxford Science Publications,
1987.
A clear introduction to the Tokamak concept, to the related
plasma physics and to some diagnostic techniques.
Graduate level, basic plasma knowledge required.
[Emilio Martines, martines@pdigi3.igi.pd.cnr.it]
* White, Roscoe. _Theory of tokamak plasmas._ [361 p.]
North-Holland Physics, 1989.
From the Preface: "These notes accompany a graduate course
taught at Princeton, designed to provide a basic introduction
to plasma equilibrium, particle orbits, transport, and those
ideal and resistive magnetohydrodynamic instabilities which
dominate the behavior of a tokamak discharge, and to develop
the mathematical methods necessary for their theoretical
analysis."
"I know Chen's book pretty well, Miyamoto's less well. Both are
inferior to R White's recent book." - Bruce Scott
Advanced Graduate Level.
[Robert F. Heeter, rfheeter@phoenix.princeton.edu
- I take the course next year and will know this intimately. :)]
