Collisions in a plasma Collisions in a neutral gas: where our common intuition comes from Collisions in a plasma: from binary to collective Plasma mean free path: the standard calculation and its limitation Kinetic modeling: BGL and Landau operators Collisions and "thermal noise" Fluid consequences of collisions: the transport coefficients Irreversibility and dissipation Neutral gas example. Notion of entropy in this case Generalization: non-extensive entropy Landau damping Outline LUTH, Février 2016, Belmont3/39
