14th Czechoslovak seminar on plasma physics and technology. Part II

All 26 contributions included in the second part of the proceedings of the 14th Czechoslovak Seminar on Plasma Physics and Technology deal with various high-temperature plasma topics. The majority of papers (6) relate to plasma production, diagnostics, and to the lower hybrid current drive in the Czech tokamak Castor. Two papers refer to the diagnostics of a laser-produced plasma. Three contributions report the gas-puff-pinch experiment at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Prague, fast ion measurements in Polish plasma focus devices, and the imploding liner experiment using the Soviet Angara-Modul accelerator, respectively. One paper summarizes the experimental results obtained with the Polish high-current electron accelerators Niva and Nike. Four contributions report the beam-plasma experiments performed on the Czech accelerator Rebex. Particular attention is paid to ultrasoft X-ray diagnostics. One invited paper (by prof. Kolomensky) surveys non-traditional methods of particle acceleration, two others discuss the active and passive methods of corpuscular plasma diagnostics. The rest of the papers concern miscellaneous theoretical problems of high-temperature plasma physics (e.g. Langmuir turbulence, kinetic plasma wave modes, superbanana diffusion in stellarators etc.). 83 figs., 1 tab., 160 refs
