Description

The problem of the scattering of two longitudinal plasma oscillations into a single transverse wave is considered. The theory is formulated to second order in the electromagnetic field using a Vlasov type set of nonlinear equations. The emission rate and spectrum are written in terms of the electron distribution function, and the relationship between the observed emission and the dynamics of the plasma is discussed

Abstract (Portuguese)

Considera-se o problema do espalhamento de duas oscilacoes de plasma longitudinais resultando em uma unica onda eletromagnetica transversa. A teoria e formulada incluindo-se os termos de segunda ordem no campo eletromagnetico, usando-se um conjunto de equacoes nao lineares do tipo de Vlasov. Escreve-se a taxa de emissao e espectro em termos da funcao de distribuicao de eletrons, e discute-se a relacao entre a emissao observada e a dinamica do plasma
