Washington, DC: The National Academy Press, Date: 2007. Presumed first edition/first printing thus. Wraps. Very good.. xviii, 37, [1] p. Illustrations (some in color). The task statement requested that the panel assess specific areas of plasma science, such as beams, accelerators, and coherent radiation sources, and broad areas of plasma science, including fundamental plasma experiments, theoretical and computational plasma physics, and education in plasma science. During the course of the study, the panel had numerous discussions about the desirability of establishing organizational units specifically devoted to plasma science in the relevant federal agencies. Many members of the plasma science community who were consulted strongly advocated the establishment of such homes, believing that they are needed if basic plasma science is to be given the focused attention and increased support that the panel recommends. This subject was beyond the scope of the panel's work. 2007. The National Academy Press ISBN 0309109434 9780309109437 [US]

Washington, DC: National Academy Press, Date: 2007. Prepublication Copy subject to editorial corrections. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket as issued.. 241 p. : Illustrations. "Uncorrected Proofs. Wording subject to change". This work was performed by the Plasma 2010 Committee, of the Plasma Science Committee, of the Board of Physics and Astronomy, of the Division of Engineering and Physical Sciences. As part of its current physics decadal survey, Physics 2010, the NRC was asked by the DOE, NSF, and NASA to carry out an assessment of and outlook for the broad field of plasma science and engineering over the next several years. The study was to focus on progress in plasma research, identify the most compelling new scientific opportunities, evaluate prospects for broader application of plasmas, and offer guidance to realize these opportunities. The study paid particular attention to these last two points. This "demand-side" perspective provided a clear look at what plasma research can do to help achieve national goals of fusion energy, economic competitiveness, and nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. This report provides an examination of the broad themes that frame plasma research: low-temperature plasma science and engineering; plasma physics at high energy density; plasma science of magnetic fusion; space and astrophysical science; and basic plasma science. Within those themes, the report offers a bold vision for future developments in plasma science. ...
