Description

The effect of random density inhomogeneities on the anomalous plasma resistivity caused by a current-driven ion acoustic instability is considered. It is shown that, under certain conditions, dissipation due to the plasma inhomogeneity can be more efficient than that due to nonlinear effects. The scenario under consideration can occur in the low-density corona of a high-density Z-pinch
