Continuation of PHYS 5150. Topics vary yearly but include nonlinear effects such as wave coupling, quasilinear relaxation, particle trapping, nonlinear Landau damping, collisionless shocks, solutions; nonneutral plasmas; kinetic theory of waves in a magnetized plasma; anisotropy; inhomogeneity; radiation---ponderomotive force, parametric instabilities, stimulated scattering; plasma optics; kinetic theory, and fluctuation phenomena. Prereq., PHYS 5150 or instructor consent. Same as ASTR 7160.
