Landau damping in Sobolev spaces for the Vlasov-HMF model
We consider the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) model. We consider solutions starting in a small Sobolev neighborhood of a spatially homogeneous state satisfying a linearized stability criterion (Penrose criterion). We prove that these solutions exhibit a scattering behavior to a modified state, which implies a nonlinear Landau damping effect with polynomial rate of damping.
متن کاملCaldeira-Leggett Model, Landau Damping, and the Vlasov-Poisson System
The Caldeira-Leggett Hamiltonian (Eq. (1) below) describes the interaction of a discrete harmonic oscillator with a continuous bath of harmonic oscillators. This system is a standard model of dissipation in macroscopic low temperature physics, and has applications to superconductors, quantum computing, and macroscopic quantum tunneling. The similarities between the Caldeira-Leggett model and th...
متن کاملAccurate Formulas for the Landau Damping Rates of Electrostatic Waves
LLE Review, Volume 74 113 Laser–plasma instabilities1 are important in the field of inertial confinement fusion2 because they scatter laser light away from the target, which reduces the laser energy available to drive the compression of the nuclear fuel, or generate energetic electrons that preheat the fuel, which makes the fuel harder to compress. In stimulated Raman scattering an incident, or...
متن کاملOn Landau Damping
Going beyond the linearized study has been a longstanding problem in the theory of Landau damping. In this paper we establish exponential Landau damping in analytic regularity. The damping phenomenon is reinterpreted in terms of transfer of regularity between kinetic and spatial variables, rather than exchanges of energy; phase mixing is the driving mechanism. The analysis involves new families...
متن کاملVlasov simulation of electrostatic solitary structures in multi-component plasmas
[1] Electrostatic solitary structures have been observed in the Earth’s magnetosheath by the Cluster spacecraft. Recent theoretical work has suggested that these solitary structures are modeled by electron acoustic solitary waves existing in a four-component plasma system consisting of core electrons, two counter-streaming electron beams, and one species of background ions. In this paper, the e...
