Relativistically strong-coupled transverse-longitudinal waves in an electron-ion plasma

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

A method for obtaining exact periodic solutions of relativistically strong-coupled transverse-longitudinal waves in an electron-ion plasma is presented. Suitable choice of initial conditions yields wave solutions whose longitudinal component has twice the frequency of the transverse. In addition, the significance of the plasma stream velocity in the nonlinear theory is discussed.
