Universal formula for quasi-static density perturbation by a magnetoplasma wave

  • 1. Department of Physics and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720

Description

The general expression for the ponderomotive Hamiltonian is used to obtain the quasi-static quasi-neutral density change caused by the ponderomotive force of a cold magnetoplasma wave of arbitrary frequency and polarization: deltan (x) =-[vertical-barE(x) vertical-bar2-vertical-barB(x) vertical-bar2] /4π
