Abstract

Plasma physics covers a wide range of phenomena from low-temperature electrons in solids and partially ionised gases in discharges to high-temperature plasma in fusion devices and astrophysics. New theoretical ideas and experimental results have significantly improved our understanding of the, certainly complex, behaviour of this `fourth state of matter'. European Journal of Physics intends to publish a series of articles on topics in this discipline, aiming to draw the attention of university teachers, and perhaps of students as well, to the problems and progress in this active field of research. The first article of this occasional series, `Stochastic transport in plasmas' by R Balescu, is published in this issue.
