1. Basic characterisation of plasma
Definition and various types of plasma (isothermic and non-isothermic plasma, plasma in the discharge and in the cosmic space). Micro-field and macro-field in plasma (Debye length, sheaths in plasma). Plasma parameters. Probe in plasma.

2. Collision processes in plasma
Types of the collisions (elastic and non-elastic collisions). Collision cross-sections (examples). Collision frequency.

3. Elementary processes
Ionization (various types, comparison), excitation (energetic states of atoms and molecules).

Radiation of plasma. Negative ions. Recombination (various types, comparison). Interactions of various types of ions (ion-molecular reactions).Chemical reactions in the plasma.

4. Description of the plasma
Kinetic theory (phase space, distribution function). Boltzmann kinetic equation, laws of conservation. Influence of collisions, equillibrium and non-equillibrium states (Maxwellian distribution function). Magnetohydrodynamic approximation (basic magnetohydrodynamic equation, Ohm law).
