What to read after Frontiers in Fusion Research?

Frontier in Fusion Research describes a systematic overview of the latest physical principles of fusion and plasma confinement. It deals with the physics of fusion and plasma confinement related to the fundamental disciplines, such as topology, integrability of dynamical equation, time arrow of kinetic equation, continuous spectrum, self-organized criticality, etc. Chapters include:

• Sun on the Earth: Endless Energy from Hydrogen;

• Hydrogen Fusion: Light Nuclei and Theory of Fusion Reactions;

• Confinement Bottle: Topology of Magnetic Bottle and Force Equilibrium; and

• Charged Particle Motion: Lagrange-Hamilton Orbital Dynamics.

Students who have learned the basics of quantum and analytical mechanics will find the subject matter easy to understand, thanks to a brief introduction. Researchers in other fields may be interested by the author's approach to the scientific principle of magnetic plasma confinement which has been systematized over 50 years of fusion research since its beginning in 1958.
