SFB 591: Universal behaviour of plasmas far from equilibrium: heating, transport and structure formation

等离子体物理学的现代研究从技术应用到聚变问题再到天体物理学。虽然研究课题有很大的带宽，许多等离子体系统表现出很强的相似性，因此，允许在很宽的参数范围内的基本属性的研究。非平衡状态下等离子体的行为特别令人感兴趣。它们的动力学、湍流和与周围环境的相互作用可以用统计物理的方法来描述。通常，只有通过将数值模拟与实验结果或观察结果进行比较，才有可能验证所产生的概念。在对实验和理论等离子体物理学以及等离子体天体物理学的核心主题进行跨学科处理的基础上，合作研究中心的目标特别是研究非平衡等离子体中的加热，加速和结构形成。这样，将获得质的新的结果，不限于plasmaphysical子学科，这将导致更好地了解等离子体状态。

Modern research in plasma physics reaches from technological applications via fusion problems to astrophysics. Although the research topics have a substantial bandwidth, numerous plasma systems exhibit strong similarities and, therefore, permit studies of their basic properties over a wide range of parameters. The behaviour of plasmas in a non-equilibrium state is of particular interest. Their dynamics, turbulence and interaction with the surroundings can be described with the methods of statistical physics. Often a validation of resulting concepts is only possible via a comparison of numerical simulations with experimental results or observations. On the basis of an interdisciplinary treatment of these topics that are central for experimental and theoretical plasma physics and also plasma-astrophyics, the Collaborative Research Centre aims, in particular, at studies of the heating, the acceleration and the structure formation in non-equilibrium plasmas. This way qualitatively new results will be obtained that are not limited to plasmaphysical subdisciplines and that will lead to an improved understanding of the plasma state.
