Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in a three-dimensional plasma.

چکیده
Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in a three-dimensional (3D) unmagnetized plasma are constructed. It is shown that 3D solutions that depend only on energy do not exist. However, 3D solutions that depend on energy and additional constants of motion (such as angular momentum) do exist. Exact analytical as well as numerical solutions are constructed assuming spherical symmetry, and their properties are contrasted with those of 1D solutions. Possible extensions to solutions with cylindrical symmetry with or without a finite magnetic guide field are discussed.

متن کاملWeakly collisional Landau damping and three-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes: New results on old problems
Landau damping and Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal BGK modes are among the most fundamental concepts in plasma physics. While the former describes the surprising damping of linear plasma waves in a collisionless plasma, the latter describes exact undamped nonlinear solutions of the Vlasov equation. There does exist a relationship between the two: Landau damping can be described as the phase mixing of ...
متن کاملDirect excitation of high-amplitude chirped bucket-BGK modes.
For the first time, high amplitude (Deltan/n approximately 40%), high Q (up to 100 000) Bernstein, Greene, and Kruskal modes have been controllably excited in a plasma. The modes are created by sweeping an excitation voltage downwards in frequency, thereby dragging a phase space "bucket" of low density into the bulk of the plasma velocity distribution. The modes have no linear limit and differ ...
متن کاملInstability of Some Bgk Waves for the Vlasov-poisson System
We consider a one-dimensional, collisionless plasma given by the Vlasov-Poisson system and investigate the stability of periodic steady state solutions known as Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) waves. Using information about the induced dispersion operator, we determine sufficient conditions under which BGK waves are linearly unstable under perturbations that share the same period as the equilibr...
