Various plasma measurement techniques are then discussed, including the use of microwaves, probes, laser scattering and particle energy analyzers. Permission of the instructor. Concepts in advanced quantum mechanics. Topics include second quantization, the Greens function approach to many particle systems, field quantization and relativistic wave equations. Topics in relativistic field theory include solvable models, Wick's Theorem, and perturbation expansions.
Field theory is used to discuss problems in strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions.
