Hydrodynamics of ponderomotive interactions in a collisionless plasma

  • 1. Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 812, Japan

Description

A hydrodynamic treatment of ponderomotive interactions in a collisionless plasma is presented and it is shown that consistent hydrodynamics leads to the correct expression for the solenoidal ponderomotive electron current density, a result previously thought to be derivable only in the framework of the warm-plasma kinetic theory
