Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student should be able to describe the plasma state, to give some examples, to define the fundamental parameters characterizing a plasma and how one can determine such parameters (notably in relation with thermonuclear fusion).
