This international review journal is led by the Division of Plasma Physics of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies. It aims to be a flagship in the field of plasma physics and ist application, and to publish cutting-edge reviews and tutorials of modern plasma physics. In particular, selected reviews by leading researchers and seminal reviews by S. Chandrasekhar Prize and Plasma Innovation Prize laureates are published. The journal covers all fields of plasma physics including fundamental and applied physics relevant to natural and laboratory plasmas.
- Fundamental plasma physics including all fundamental disciplines common to all plasma fields such as plasma turbulence, MHD/Kinetic MHD and reconnection, Gyrokinetic theory, Collisional transport, and Mathematical plasma physics, etc.
- Basic Plasma Physics including strongly-coupled/dusty/quantum plasma, non-neutral plasmas, emerging plasma physics and all common “methods" in plasma physics such as Plasma Simulation, Plasma Diagnostics, Plasma Sources, Atomic and Molecular Processes in plasma.
- Applied plasma physics including plasma processing, plasma medicine, plasma agriculture, pulsed power application, etc.
- Laser plasma physics including laser fusion, laser wake-field acceleration, warm-dense matter,
- Space plasma physics and geomagnetism
- Solar and Astro plasma physics
- Magnetic Confinement Fusion Physics
Review articles in the journal are characterized not only by their excellent quality, but also their high readability. Therefore the published articles serve as authoritative materials for graduate students and young researchers less familiar with the fields covered.
