Learning outcomes
As a result of studying the discipline "Special sections of plasma physics", the student will get acquainted with physical approaches in the development of modern plasma technologies: the features of supersonic plasma flows immersed in neutral gas and the possibility of their use in the construction of powerful plasma lasers, plasma technologies of sustainable development for energy, environmental protection, medicine , agricultural industry, creation of new materials (nanomaterials, protective and functional coatings, etc.). The course also considers the possibilities of using plasma to solve a number of problems in the aerospace industry (the problem of hypersound in aviation, anthropogenic impact on the Earth's ionosphere, etc.); alternative approaches to creating inertial thermonuclear fusion systems; plasma activation of a number of natural phenomena (generation of ball lightning, the process of abiogenic emergence of life).

Course content
The discipline "Special sections of plasma physics" contains materials that consider physical approaches in the development of modern plasma technologies - features of supersonic plasma flows immersed in neutral gas and the possibilities of their use in the construction of powerful plasma lasers, plasma technologies of sustainable development for energy, environmental protection, medicine , agricultural industry, creation of new materials (nanomaterials, protective and functional coatings, etc.). The course also considers the possibilities of using plasma to solve a number of problems in the aerospace industry (the problem of hypersound in aviation, anthropogenic impact on the Earth's ionosphere, etc.); alternative approaches to creating inertial thermonuclear fusion systems; plasma activation of a number of natural phenomena (generation of ball lightning, the process of abiogenic emergence of life).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, final tests, independent tasks (abstracts), final assessment
Assessment methods and criteria
Test papers, independent papers (abstracts), and test answers are evaluated. The total grade is defined as the sum of the number of points scored by the student during the semester and the number of points scored during the assessment. Before the calculation. only those students who have a total semester rating of at least 10 points are admitted. The maximum number of points that can be awarded to a student when taking a test is 70 points, the minimum at which the test is counted is 31 points. The contribution of learning results to the final grade, provided they are mastered at the appropriate level and all assignments are successfully completed, is as follows: knowledge up to 50%; skill - up to 35%; communication - up to 5%; autonomy and responsibility - up to 10%.
