Electric field correlations in the guiding-center plasma

  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242

Description

Electric field autocorrelations for the two-dimensional electrostatic guiding-center plasma are calculated numerically. It is concluded that the autocorrelation, averaged over a thermal equilibrium ensemble, is damped in an approximately exponential fashion, as predicted by Taylor and McNamara. Oscillatory behavior of the type predicted by Taylor and Thompson is not observed.
