Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The Ssminar consists of talks by students on topics from the following areas:
Fundamentals of Plasma Physics: Plasmacharacteristika, plasmas in local thermodynamic equilibrium, elastic collisions and conductivity of plasmas, magnetized plasmas, magnetohydrodynamics ...
Technical plasmas: light sources, surface processing, space propulsion
Plasmas in fusion research: fusion reactions, magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas, the elements of a fusion reactor and methods for measuring plasma parameters: measurement of electron density and temperature, optical emission spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy
