Landau damping

چکیده
This course was taught in the summer of 2010 in the Centre International des Rencontres Mathématiques as part of a program on mathematical plasma physics related to the ITER project; it constitutes an introduction to the Landau damping phenomenon in the linearized and perturbative nonlinear regimes, following the recent work [78] by Mouhot & Villani.

Measurement of Landau damping and the evolution to a BGK equilibrium.
Linear Landau damping and nonlinear wave-particle trapping oscillations are observed with standing plasma waves in a trapped pure electron plasma. For low wave amplitudes, the measured linear damping rate agrees quantitatively with linear Landau damping theory. At larger amplitudes, the wave initially damps at the Landau rate, then regrows and oscillates, approaching a steady state, as predicte...

In this article, non-linear Landau damping and generation of BGK mode in non-magnetized plasma are studied by using particle simulation. As plasma environment consists of electrons and ions, it is simulated by particle method and it is supposed that ions are considered as a motionless background. On the other hand, electron’s dynamic is obtained from solving Newton’s equation and the electron...
متن کاملLandau Damping of Surface Plasma Waves
The integral of the kinetic electrostatic surface wave dispersion relation is asymptotically evaluated to determine the frequencies of the normal modes and the corresponding Landau damping for the high frequency surface electron plasma wave and the low frequency surface ion acoustic wave. The asymptotically calculated Landau damping rates apply to the limiting cases of kx e <<1 and kx e >>1 whe...
متن کاملLandau damping of spin waves in trapped Boltzmann gases
A semiclassical method is used to study Landau damping of transverse pseudospin waves in harmonically trapped ultracold gases in the collisionless Boltzmann limit. In this approach, the time evolution of a spin is calculated numerically as it travels in a classical orbit through a spatially dependent mean field. This method reproduces the Landau damping results for spin-waves in unbounded syste...
متن کاملLandau damping of electromagnetic transport via dielectric-metal superlattices.
We discuss the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a one-dimensional periodic array of bilayers with metal inclusions. We show that the nonlocality of metal conductivity leads to the emergence of the fundamental collisionless Landau damping. It cannot be neglected, not only when prevailing over ordinary collision damping, but even when these two kinds of electromagnetic absorption are ...
متن کاملLandau damping of partially incoherent Langmuir waves
It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave ...
