Damping of longitudinal plasma oscillations

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

Attenuation of electron oscillations in a fully ionized plasma is investigated by solving linearized kinetic equation without external fields. The general dispersion relation for longitudinal plasma oscillations is obtained using the BGK model. Damping due to electron ion collisions is obtained with a correction term. It is also observed that damping rate decreases ask increases, which is in agreement with McBride.
