Readership: Scientists and graduate students who engage in research on RF-plasma interacations in fusion science will most likely need the information in these Proceedings. Professionals working in material processing, astrophysics and space propulsion will also find it very useful.

This proceedings includes the most recent research advances in application of RF power in plasmas, mainly in fusion science. Most papers deal with plasma heating and current drive, profile control, and stabilization using RF techniques, with some on RF sources and launchers. New and exciting results from all major tokamak experiments, and from theory and modeling are included. There is also a paper on RF-plasma application in space propulsion by an active NASA astronaut. This book is a valuable reference for the RF researchers in fusion and other disciplines.
