{"product_id":"quantum-plasmadynamics-unmagnetized-plasmas-von-donald-melrose","title":"Quantum Plasmadynamics","description":"The idea of synthesizing quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the kinetic theory of plasmas ?rst occurred to me in the early 1970s [1, 2]. The project to do so has been carried out bit by bit over the subsequent years. The name “quantum plasmadynamics” (QPD) is my own jargon [3] for the synthesized theory. Both QED and the kinetic theory of plasmas areconcerned with the int- action between charged particles and the electromagnetic ?eld, but they are radically di?erent in the way the interaction is described. The kinetic theory of plasmas is a collective-medium theory: a plasma is not a collection of - dependent particles in a given electromagnetic ?eld, but a medium in which the particles collectively modify the ?eld, and the ?eld modi?es the par- cles. The charge and current densities associated with the particles are part of a self-consistent ?eld. Conventionally, the kinetic theory of plasmas is a classical theory: the motions of particles are treated using classical dynamics.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781441925381\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnmagnetized Plasmas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781441925381","offer_id":39415140122717,"sku":"9781441925381","price":128.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/61354169-e066-4c16-86cc-009acd75102c.jpg?v=1782360419","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/quantum-plasmadynamics-unmagnetized-plasmas-von-donald-melrose","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
