Aims of the course |
To
familiarize students with the basics of diagnostic methods used in the study
of plasma, especially of high-temperature plasma. |
|
|
Learning outcomes |
The
adoption of the basic concepts related to spectroscopy, interferometry and
other diagnostic methods for determining the composition of the plasma,
electron concentration and plasma temperature. Training students to process
spectra and other characteristic signals. Understanding the properties of
high-temperature plasmas and introduction to current research in this area. |
