The interaction of high-frequency and low-frequency waves in magnetized plasmas
Abstract
The interaction of high-frequency and low-frequency waves in magnetized plasmas is considered. The narrowness of high-frequency wave packets makes possible a concise Hamiltonian description of the problem. Some concrete problems are studied with the help of the derived equations. The competitive role of scattering in self-consistent density and magnetic-field fluctuation are considered. The self-focusing and solitons of potential plasma waves and magnetohydrodynamic waves are studied.
