Lectures on Statistical Mechanics
Allan N. Kaufman, Bruce I. Cohen, Alain J. Brizard
Presented here is a transcription of the lecture notes from Professor Allan N. Kaufman's graduate statistical mechanics course at Berkeley from the 1972-1973 academic year. Part 1…
Theoretical Plasma Physics
Allan N. Kaufman, Bruce I. Cohen
These lecture notes were presented by Allan N. Kaufman in his graduate plasma theory course and a follow-on special topics course (Physics 242A, B, C and Physics 250 at the Univers…
Analysis of ray phase-space recirculation in an extended Budden problem
A. J. Brizard, A. N. Kaufman, E. R. Tracy
A three-wave Budden model with two resonance layers is constructed that allows recirculation of energy fluxes along a quadrangle in ray phase space. The transmission, reflection, a…
Local Solutions for Generic Multidimensional Resonant Wave Conversion
E. R. Tracy, A. N. Kaufman
In more than one spatial dimension, resonant linear conversion from one wave type to another can have a more complex geometry than the familiar 'avoided crossing' of one-dimensiona…
Ray helicity: a geometric invariant for multi-dimensional resonant wave conversion
E. R. Tracy, A. N. Kaufman
For a multicomponent wave field propagating into a multidimensional conversion region, the rays are shown to be helical, in general. For a ray-based quantity to have a fundamental…
