Plasmas, Random walks and applications: a first taste
Ø
Plasmas
·
On one
hand, plasmas are systems that exhibit collective behavior and are studied
extensively for both their scientific beauty and technological importance.
·
On
the other hand, random walks are of primary importance to statistical physics
and beyond.
·
Finally,
there is an interesting connection between them
These are the
three main points of this presentation.
The material
presented here is clearly more than can be covered in a single session. However
each educator can either omit certain parts or extend his teaching into more
than one session.
