Kinetic theory of three-wave interaction in a weakly-ionised plasma

  • 1. Australian National Univ., Canberra. Dept. of Theoretical Physics

Description

The nonlinear resonant interaction between three longitudinal plasma waves in a weakly-ionised Vlasov plasma is considered. The particle-collisions are described by the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model, in a version in which only the number density of electrons is conserved in collisions. The coupling coefficients for this wave-interaction are calculated. (Auth.)
