The project to do so has been carried out bit by bit over the subsequent years. The name quantum plasmadynamics (QPD) is my own jargon [3] for the synthesized theory. Both QED and the kinetic theory of plasmas areconcerned with the int- action between charged particles and the electromagnetic ?eld, but they are radically di?erent in the way the interaction is described. The kinetic theory of plasmas is a collective-medium theory: a plasma is not a collection of - dependent particles in a given electromagnetic ?eld, but a medium in which the particles collectively modify the ?eld, and the ?eld modi?es the par- cles. The charge and current densities associated with the particles are part of a self-consistent ?eld. Conventionally, the kinetic theory of plasmas is a classical theory: the motions of particles are treated using classical dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823718039840,"sku":"NEW0387739025","price":108.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51oJRfHXzrL.jpg?v=1781201202","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/quantum-plasmadynamics-unmagnetized-plasmas-lecture-notes-in-physics-735-0387739025","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
