Resonant absorption in a exponential electronic density gradient

Description

We use the capacitor model to study resonant absorption in a hot, unmagnetised, Maxwellian, inhomogeneous plasma. We integrate the linearised Vlasov equation to get a non local dispersion relation for the Fourier transform of the electric field. We solve this dispersion relation in two domains of the wave number, klambdasub(D). For weak gradients of the electron density, we correct the hydrodynamic equations by adding a Landau damping term. For steep gradients, we solve the dispersion relation numerically

Abstract (French)

On emploie le modele capacitif pour etudier l'absorption resonnante dans un plasma chaud, non magnetise, maxwellien et de densite inhomogene. On integre l'equation de Vlasov linearisee pour obtenir une relation de dispersion non locale pour la transformee de Fourier du champ electrique. On a approxime cette relation et traite dans deux domaines du nombre d'onde klambdasub(D). Pour des gradients de densite electronique doux on a obtenu une correction aux equations hydrodynamiques. Pour des gradients raides on a resolu numeriquement
