Ducted propagation of chorus waves: Cluster observations
Ducted propagation of whistler waves in the terrestrial magnetosphere-ionosphere system was discussed and studied long before the first in-situ spacecraft measurements. While a number of implicit examples of the existence of ducted propagation have been found, direct observation of ducts has been hampered by the low sampling rates of measurements of the plasma density. The present paper is base...
متن کاملSmall BGK waves and nonlinear Landau damping
Consider 1D Vlasov-poisson system with a xed ion background and periodic condition on the space variable. First, we show that for general homogeneous equilibria, within any small neighborhood in the Sobolev space W s;p p > 1; s < 1 + 1 p of the steady distribution function, there exist nontrivial travelling wave solutions (BGK waves) with arbitrary minimal period and traveling speed. This impl...
متن کاملLandau Damping of Surface Plasma Waves
The integral of the kinetic electrostatic surface wave dispersion relation is asymptotically evaluated to determine the frequencies of the normal modes and the corresponding Landau damping for the high frequency surface electron plasma wave and the low frequency surface ion acoustic wave. The asymptotically calculated Landau damping rates apply to the limiting cases of kx e <<1 and kx e >>1 whe...
متن کاملLandau damping of partially incoherent Langmuir waves
It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave ...
متن کاملAccurate Formulas for the Landau Damping Rates of Electrostatic Waves
LLE Review, Volume 74 113 Laser–plasma instabilities1 are important in the field of inertial confinement fusion2 because they scatter laser light away from the target, which reduces the laser energy available to drive the compression of the nuclear fuel, or generate energetic electrons that preheat the fuel, which makes the fuel harder to compress. In stimulated Raman scattering an incident, or...
