Kinetic Theory of Plasma: Linearized Vlasov Equations

This lecture delves into the kinetic theory of plasma, focusing on the linearized Vlasov equations in hot magnetized plasmas. The instructor explains the equilibrium and perturbed quantities, demonstrating how the system can be solved by integrating along characteristics. Various perturbed and unperturbed orbits are explored, providing insights into the behavior of plasma particles in phase space.
