Nonlinear Processes in Plasmas.

Abstract

During this report period research was conducted in the following areas: (1) The study of the plasma state of matter, with particular emphasis on its nonlinear collective effects; and (2) The application of knowledge gained of the plasma state to the interpretation of various dynamic phenomena in which collective effects play a role such as anomalous transport phenomena, nonlinear wave absorption, and plasma-wave turbulence, both in the laboratory and in space. This report describes the principle results obtained, and lists papers published or being published and graduate thesis supported.
