Universal formula for the quasistatic second-order density perturbation by a cold magnetoplasma wave

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5107446
Using the general expression for the ponderomotive Hamiltonian, the quasi-static quasi-neutral density change caused by the ponderomotive force of a cold magnetoplasma wave of arbitrary frequency and polarization is obtained. This formula agrees with and extends previous results for unmagnetized and magnetized plasma.
