AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion highlights the interest in advancing knowledge in plasma physics and fusion following a BSc in nuclear and radiation engineering. The participant seeks guidance on further courses and simulation codes related to these fields. Suggestions include utilizing textbooks from previous courses for deeper exploration and considering additional courses in plasma physics and radiation interactions with matter. Engaging with these resources is emphasized as a way to build a solid foundation in the subject.

I just finished my Bsc. in nuclear and radiation engineering, and in my senior year i took a plasma physics and fusion course and was introduced to Fusion, MHD etc. , but the course did not dive deep into them.

I am really interested in this field, wether Plasma physics only or Fusion. I want to dive deeper into this field and learn more courses about it, and know all the codes that are used for simulation etc..

If someone can give me a brief guide or knows a good course or guide it would be really helpful🙏

Why not use references from your textbook to dig deeper? By the time you graduate you should be able to do this on your own.

What textbook did one use in the course?

One should consider taking courses in plasma physics and radiation interaction with matter: plasmas, gases and solids.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
