Linear and nonlinear drift waves in collisionless and collisional electron-positron-ion plasmas
- Physics Research Division PINSTECH, P.O. Nilore, Islamabad (Pakistan)
The linear and nonlinear drift waves in collisional and collisionless electron-positron-ion plasmas are studied in the classical limit. The possibilities of formation of solitons and shocks under different conditions are discussed. To estimate the growth rate of the linear drift dissipative instability in this case is not straightforward. However, in a limiting case it can be calculated exactly. Comparison of the results with the usual electron-ion plasmas is presented and the behavior of linear and nonlinear dynamics is pointed out for applications to laboratory and astrophysical situations.
