Physics of Plasmas, published monthly by the American Institute of Physics with the cooperation of The American Physical Society, Division of Plasma Physics, is devoted to original contributions to and reviews of the physics of plasmas, including magnetofluid mechanics, kinetic theory and statistical mechanics of fully and partially ionized gases.

The scope of contributed material includes:

Equilibria, linear waves, and instabilities.

Nonlinear behavior, including turbulent and stochastic phenomena and associated transport, and solitons and shock waves.

Physics of lasers and particle beams and charged-particle acceleration and transport.

Radiation generation, transport, propagation, and interaction with plasmas.

Gaseous electronics.

Plasma chemistry and processing.

Geophysical and astrophysical plasmas.

Plasma confinement by magnetic fields.

Inertial confinement physics.

Physics of dense plasmas or matter under extreme conditions.
