Collective phenomena in plasma. 2. ed.

The book which is an introduction to the theory of collective phenomena in plasma considers both regular linear and nonlinear processes in plasma and its turbulence. Nonlinear waves in weakly dispersing media, self-focusing and selfcompression of wave packets nonlinear Landau damping echo in plasma and wave sc attering on particles are analysed. Plasma turbulence, weak, ionosonic, Langmuir and MHD-turbulences are considered. The reshorting of magnetic force lines in plasma is also discussed
