This book presents the theory of gas discharge plasmas in a didactical way. It explains the processes in gas discharge plasmas. A gas discharge plasma is an ionized gas which is supported by an external electric field. Therefore its parameters are determined by processes in it. The properties of a...

This dissertation focuses on the calculation of transport coefficients in the matter created in a relativistic heavy-ion collision after chemical freeze-out. This matter can be well approximated using a pion gas out of equilibrium. We describe the theoretical framework needed to obtain the shear and...

This thesis describes pioneering research on the extension of plasmonics schemes to the regime of high-intensity lasers. By presenting a rich and balanced mix of experimentation, theory and simulation, it provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of high field plasmonics, including open...
Beam Diagnostics in Superconducting Accelerating Cavities
The Extraction of Transverse Beam Position from Beam-Excited Higher Order Modes
Language: English
Release Date: July 24, 2013
An energetic charged particle beam introduced to an rf cavity excites a wakefield therein. This wakefield can be decomposed into a series of higher order modes and multipoles, which for sufficiently small beam offsets are dominated by the dipole component. This work focuses on using these dipole modes...

Non-thermal (cold) plasmas at atmospheric pressure have recently found many breakthrough applications in biology, medicine, and food security. Plasmas can efficiently kill bacteria, yeasts, moulds, spores, biofilms and other hazardous microorganisms, including potential bio-terrorism agents. They...
Stop the “Fuelishness”
Plan for a World W/O Fossil Fuels Save the Environment
Language: English
Release Date: December 18, 2015
John was inspired to write this about fuels-not fools- because of his suffering as a child without the conveniences of electricity, or fuel for heating,e.g,. also running water or telephones; because all three require fuels. after 60 years studying/working as an Engineering Project Manager mostly...
