Quantum Statistics of Nonideal Plasmas

During the last decade impressive development and significant advance of the physics of nonideal plasmas in astrophysics and in laboratories can be observed, creating new possibilities for experimental research. The enormous progress in laser technology, but also ion beam techniques, has opened new ways for the production and diagnosis of plasmas under extreme conditions, relevant for astrophysics and inertially confined fusion, and for the study of laser-matter interaction. In shock wave e...
