Abstract

A plasma is a system containing a very large number of interacting charged particles, so that for its analysis it is appropriate and convenient to use a statistical approach. In this chapter we present the basic elements of kinetic theory, introducing the concepts of phase space and distribution function,which are necessary for a statistical description.
