Description

The author has studied the growth of a radially symmetrical Gaussian ripple superimposed on a Gaussian EM beam and propagating in plasma along the external magnetic field Β-vector. On account of nonuniform intensity distribution of the main beam, a dc component of ponderomotive force becomes finite and it redistributes the carriers in the plasma in a plane transverse to the beam propagation. In collisionless plasma, the nonlinearity mainly arises due to ponderomotive force
