Ray Tracing and Beyond: Phase Space Methods in Plasma Wave Theory

by A.S. Richardson, Allan Kaufman, Eugene R. Tracy, et al.

This complete introduction to the use of modern ray tracing techniques in plasma physics describes the powerful mathematical methods generally applicable to vector wave equations in non-uniform media, and clearly demonstrates the application of these methods to simplify and solve important problems in plasma wave theory. Key analytical concepts are carefully introduced as needed, encouraging the development of a visual intuition for the underlying...
