“… very useful and a handy reference …” (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine)
“The present formulary is vital to anyone interested in plasmas, wheter in physics, astrophysics or engineering. It gives a quick reference to both the traditional and the latest formulae and findings.” (Astronomische Nachrichten)
“… ein sehr nützliches und handliches Referenzwerk …” (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine)
This expanded collection of fundamental formulae, references, definitions and data in plasma physics is vital to anyone with an interest in plasmas or ionized gases, whether in physics, astronomy or engineering.
Ranging over plasma waves, flows, beams, jets, instabilities, drifts, kinetic theory and fundamental data (including atomic and molecular data, and tokamak parameters), this handbook is an indispensable reference work for active plasma scientists, astrophysicists, industrialists and engineers, in experimental and theoretical applications. This text is unique in treating astrophysical plasmas, fusion plasmas, industrial plasmas and low temperature plasmas as aspects of the same discipline, offering key information in both cgs and SI units.

About the Author
Professor Declan Diver serves as administrative head of the Astronomy & Astrophysics department of the university of Glasgow.
His research focuses on the analysis of plasmas, with particular emphasis on low-temperature gas-plasma mixtures, and high energy pair plasmas in a pulsar environment.
He also has a strong lecturing record, teaching courses on spherical trigonometry and positional astronomy, stellar evolution, special and general relativity, cosmology and plasma physics.
