In addition to elementary particle physics and solid-state physics, plasma physics is one of the most promising fields of physics. Its many practical applications range from fusion energy, space research, material processing, novel rockets and particle accelerators, new sources of light, particle radiation, and laser radiation, to plasma switches, plasma waveguides, plasma capacitors, and more. It also includes the plasma physics of solids, plasma-chemical methods such as gasoline production or noble gas reactions, and plasma torches for the disposal of special waste. This textbook provides a brief overview of the entire field of plasma physics and its applications in a manner that is easily understandable and illustrative for students, technicians, and physicists.
