Starting with scattering by statistically independent electrons, including magnetized cases, the book progressively develops a comprehensive model. This framework is extended to include 'dressed particles', accounting for long-range Coulomb interactions between charged particles. A consistent approach to incorporating particle collisions is presented, with an example of charge exchange interactions for illustration. Appendices provide essential background material, ensuring the content is accessible to readers.\u003c\/p\u003e Based on lectures delivered at the University of Troms , Norway, this book is designed for Masters and PhD students. It assumes a basic understanding of electromagnetism and plasma physics, including plasma waves and electrostatic phenomena. Familiarity with kinetic plasma theory and the collisionless Vlasov equation is beneficial but not mandatory.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46440031223959,"sku":"9783031826511","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031826511.webp?v=1769113775","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-theory-of-incoherent-scattering-of-radar-waves-from-plasmas-9783031826511","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
