Relativistic wave breaking in warm plasmas
- Max-Planck-Institut fuer Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Str. 1, D-85748 Garching (Germany)
A unified description of wave breaking for relativistic plasma waves having arbitrary phase velocity is obtained on the basis of warm relativistic electron fluid theory [Phys. Fluids {bold 25}, 846 (1982)]. Limiting cases found in the literature are reproduced. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
