Abstract

Nonlinear scattering of Langmuir waves of small amplitude in an isotropic relativistic Maxwellian plasma is investigated. The coefficient of nonlinear scattering of waves in a relativistic plasma is calculated, and the weak relativistic and ultrarelativistic asymptotes of the expression obtained for this coefficient in the long-wave approximation are also found.
