Title: Nonlinear evolution of longitudinal plasma waves

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6561372

Long-time nonlinear behavior of single-mode longitudinal plasma waves is studied on the basis of Vlasov equation with Fokker-Planck collision terms. Resonant layer, trapped island, collisional sublayers and x-point neighborhoods are analyzed. Nonlinear evolution equation is obtained and wave-generated current is also evaluated.
