Perpendicular nonlinear waves in an electron–positron–ion plasma
Waves propagating perpendicular to a magnetic field in a plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, and ions are studied theoretically and numerically. In a three component plasma, there appears a frequency domain in which the magnetosonic waves cannot propagate; thus, we have two separate modes below the electron cyclotron frequency. Their dispersion relations are discussed. Then, Korteweg–de ...
متن کاملExcitation of electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves by an ion beam in a two-ion component plasma
An ion beam propagating through a magnetized plasma cylinder containing electrons, light positive potassium ions K+ , and heavy positive cesium ions Cs+ drives electrostatic ion cyclotron EIC waves to instability via Cerenkov interaction. Two EIC wave modes are present, the K+ and Cs+ modes. The unstable wave frequencies and the growth rate of both the light positive ion and heavy positive ion ...
متن کاملReflected Waves in an Inhomogeneous Excitable Medium
Propagation can be encumbered in an excitable cable in which intrinsic properties change abruptly. A sudden increase in diameter or a decrease in conductivity or excitability can lead to propagation block or delay in propagation with or without reflection. We study such transient phenomena from a geometric point of view. A simple two-cell caricature, with one cell enlarged to mimic diameter inc...
متن کاملOscillatory Waves in an Inhomogeneous Excitable Medium
An excitable medium is a nonlinear dissipative dynamical system able to sustain undamped wave propagation. Examples of excitable media include cardiac tissue and neural media. This thesis investigates a class of novel dynamical phenomena in excitable media, known collectively as oscillatory waves. The examples of oscillatory waves considered here are Tango waves, breathers and pulse generators....
متن کاملElectrostatic Ion - Cyclotron Waves in a Two - Ion Component Plasma
The excitation of electrostatic ion-cyclotron (EIC) waves is studied in a single-ended Q machine in a two-ion-component plasma (Cs+ and K+). Over a large range of relative concentrations of Cs+ and K+ ions, two modes are excited with frequencies w , z Q,,, and w2 t QK+, where the Q's are the respective cyclotron frequencies. The results are discussed in terms of a fluid theory of electrostatic ...
