Papers Presented at the Second International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, Geneva, September 1958 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Foundations of plasma heating and stability in high‑temperature physics.
This collection presents early research on how shocks and magnetic fields heat plasmas, and how these processes might enable controlled thermonuclear approaches. The material blends theory and applied analysis to explore when and how irreversible changes in a plasma can occur and be observed.
Designed for readers with a technical background, the work frames the problem using two‑fluid theory, discusses the role of mean free paths, Debye length, and gyro radii, and examines the effects of magnetic fields on shock structure and energy transfer. It also investigates stability criteria and methods to stabilize plasmas with alternating magnetic fields, offering a snapshot of the challenges and methods considered in the era’s fusion research discussions.
- Key concepts in shock waves, dissipation, and irreversible heating in plasmas.
- Two-fluid theory treatments and the role of magnetic fields and conductivity.
- Stability criteria for magnetic field configurations and practical stabilization approaches.
- Analyses of energy losses, containment times, and implications for fusion‑oriented designs.
Ideal for readers of plasma physics, fusion research, and the history of early energy science, this edition provides a concise view of the problem space and foundational approaches from a pivotal conference era.
