As such, they are very important both fundamentally and practically, the latter being due to the numerous practical applications of plasmas. Examples are studies dealing with: controlled thermonuclear fusion (that would provide a virtually unlimited source of energy), plasma-based lasers for medical and other purposes, technological microwave discharges (especially those used for manufacturing microchips), a better understanding of solar activity, other astrophysical objects (white dwarfs, flare stars, and so on). The book reviews advances in this area achieved in recent years and presents new original papers building on these advances.radiofrequency dischargesrelativistic laser-plasma interactionswhite dwarfsflare starsanalytical advances in Stark broadeningSpectroscopic diagnostics of plasmasfusion plasmaslaboratory and astrophysical plasmasspectral lines shapes and shiftsOks Eugene53964ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346681903321Stark Broadening of Spectral Lines in Plasmas4322662UNINA
