Fourth Latin-American workshop on plasma physics. Courses

The main goal of this series of Workshops is to provide a periodic meeting place for Latin-American researchers in plasma physics together with colleagues from other countries around the world. This volume includes the courses given at the Workshop on Plasma Physics held in Buenos Aires in 1990. The subjects of these courses were: advances in computational plasma physics; nonlinear evolution of diffusion-reaction systems; nonlinear interaction of three waves; lectures in plasma diagnostics; heating in magnetically confined plasmas; physics and review of inertial confinement fusion; MHD relaxation processes in plasmas
