Focusing on collisionless plasma theory, this book delves into the Vlasov-Maxwell framework, essential for contemporary plasma physics. It explores how maintaining steady-state plasma and addressing instabilities are crucial for the viability of thermonuclear fusion power. Additionally, the text highlights the significance of plasma understanding in predicting Space Weather impacts on Earth and satellites. It also discusses magnetic reconnection as a universal energy release mechanism, supported by recent satellite measurements at kinetic scales.
