Plasma Physics Reports is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the behavior, properties, and dynamics of plasmas. Features articles on related subjects like plasma electronics, radiation generation within plasma, and plasma diagnostics. Covers a wide range of topics, including high-temperature plasma physics relevant to controlled nuclear fusion and the physics of cosmic plasmas, such as magnetospheric, solar, and stellar plasmas. The scope extends to gas discharge plasmas and plasmas generated by laser and particle beams. Welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
