Damping of linear waves via ionization and recombination in homogeneous plasmas
- Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544 (United States)
An oscillation-center model is proposed that analytically describes transformation of an arbitrary homogeneous linear wave at gradual ionization and recombination in homogeneous plasma. For the case when either of the processes dominates, general adiabatic invariants are found, from which the wave energy is derived as a function of the frequency.
