Sheffield et al. Publish Book on Plasma Scattering of EM Radiation

December 3, 2010

Plasma Scattering of Electromagnetic Radiation (Elsevier, 2010) is an update of John Sheffield's 1975 book of the same title. The authors of the current edition include Dustin Froula, Siegfried Glenzer and Neville Luhmann. The book is available on Amazon for $134.00.

New to this edition are:

* Extensive material on industrial and warm dense matter plasmas, energetic particle measurements and instrumentation and techniques,

* Expanded discussion on relativistic theory,

* Coverage of experimental advances such as the application to high density plasmas of inertial fusion,

* Computing techniques for solving basic equations to help researchers compare data to actual experiments, with an appendix dedicated to computation,

* Worked out examples, problem sets and answers for easier comprehension of the area.
