A pedagogical review of the historical development and current status (as of early 2000) of
systematic statistical theories of plasma turbulence is undertaken. Emphasis is on …

Neoclassical transport processes are important to the understanding of plasma confinement
physics in doubly periodic magnetized toroidal plasmas, especially, after the impact of the …

Nonrelativistic guiding center motion in the magnetic field BB (x), with E= 0, is studied using
Hamiltonian methods. f'J The drift equations are carried to second order in the perpendicular …

The concept of hamiltonian sysem is generalized to include a wide class of dissipative
processes. Evolution of any observable is generated jointly by a hamiltonian, with an …

This paper presents quasilinear theory (QLT) for a classical plasma interacting with
inhomogeneous turbulence. The particle Hamiltonian is kept general; for example …

ABSTRACT A new method for the kinetic analysis of ponderomotive effects in collisionless
plasma is presented. This method involves the application of Lie-transform perturbation …

When waves damp or amplify on resonant particles in a plasma, nonresonant particles
experience a recoil force that conserves the total momentum between particles and …

By restating geometrical optics within the field-theoretical approach, the classical concept of
a photon (and, more generally, any elementary excitation) in an arbitrary dispersive medium …

The kinetic equation for electrons including Coulomb collisions and scattering by ion sound
and related spectra is reduced to a system of equations for the energy distribution and the …
