Theoretical Plasma Physics

Theoretical plasma physics is the study of plasma, a state of matter where gases are energized to the point that atoms lose some of their electrons, creating charged particles. This field explores the behaviors and interactions of these charged particles, which are influenced by electric and magnetic fields. It helps us understand various phenomena, from the sun's behavior to the functioning of fluorescent lights and fusion energy. By using mathematical models and simulations, scientists aim to predict plasma behavior, which is essential for advancements in technology and energy production.
