Hydrodynamics of ponderomotive interactions in a collisionless plasma

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.866186· OSTI ID:7054900
A hydrodynamic treatment of ponderomotive interactions in a collisionless plasma is presented and it is shown that consistent hydrodynamics leads to the correct expression for the solenoidal ponderomotive electron current density, a result previously thought to be derivable only in the framework of the warm-plasma kinetic theory.
