Statistical Physics of Dense Plasmas by Setsuo Ichimaru

Statistical Physics of Dense Plasmas by Setsuo Ichimaru

This timely book gives a complete overview on the statistical mechanics and electrodynamics elucidating the physical processes in dense plasma systems. The author emphasizes laboratory-based experiments, especially those using laser instrumentation and 4th generation sources that enable direct testing of theory and models.

Setsuo Ichimaru is Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo, where he was a faculty member for nearly fifty years. He earned his doctorate in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a world renowned expert in the area of statistical physics of plasmas, and was the 2014 recipient of the Subramanyan Chandrasekhar Prize of Plasma Physics from the Association of Asia-Pacific Physical Societies. He was also awarded the Humboldt-Forschungspreis prize from Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung. He was a visiting member at The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, a Visiting Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, San Diego, and a guest professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Johannes Kepler University, and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics.
