Response of ion acoustic waves to an impulse

  • 1. Saskatchewan Univ., Saskatoon (Canada). Dept. of Physics

Description

Linear response of ion acoustic waves to an impulse has been numerically calculated using an exact dispersion relation. Two experiments have been simulated. Excellent agreement has been seen for a stable plasma, while for an unstable plasma, a positive frequency shift is observed. (author)
