Kinetic theory of Alfven waves

Creators

Description

The addition of electron parallel dynamics in the description of an inhomogeneous current carrying cylindrical plasma is shown to replace the magnetohydrodynamic continuum, associated with Alven waves, by a discrete spectrum. The spectrum of the resulting discrete modes is determined analytically and numerically
