Electrostatic rogue waves in double pair plasmas

Neutrino Induced Electrostatic Waves in Degenerate Electron Plasmas

The plasma theory of electrostatic waves generated collisionlessly when neutrinos pass through degenerate electrons is developed. It is consistent with quantum statistical field theory in the degenerate limit. The reactive case can also be treated. For neutrino distributions considered herein, neither case develops significantly during e.g. the neutrino burst in a supernova explosion.

Electrostatic waves and instabilities in multispecies nonneutral plasmas

This paper briefly describes waves and instabilities in a multispecies nonneutral plasma that have previously been studied only in neutral plasmas: ion sound waves, drift waves, and ion temperature gradient waves. The theory of their dispersion relations and growth rates is similar to that for neutral plasmas, but results differ in several important respects. For instance, drift waves are not n...

Rogue waves

“It came from nowhere, snapping giant ships in two. No one believed the survivors ... until now” screamed the cover of New Scientist magazine on 30 June 2001, introducing an article entitled “Monsters of the Deep”. The power and danger suggested by the term “rogue” add to the public fascination with extreme ocean waves, but they also present important and challenging scientific problems and pro...

Relativistic Landau damping of longitudinal waves in isotropic pair plasmas

Rogue waves in superfluid helium

Rogue waves have been observed in superfluid helium. The experimental system consists of high intensity second sound (temperature-entropy) waves within a resonant cavity. Under steady state conditions, with a constant oscillatory driving force at the resonant frequency, the waves are turbulent and there are fluxes of energy towards both high and low frequencies. Rogue waves appear under the non...
