Weakly turbulent electron cloud transport in a plasma with an external electric field

The propagation of a fast electron cloud in a relatively cold and dense plasma in an electric field is investigated in the framework of weak turbulence theory. The dynamics of an electron cloud in…

Spatiotemporal correlation functions in beam-driven plasmas with fluctuations

Using a reduced-parameter model of wave-particle interactions in a beam-driven plasma, the linear spatiotemporal correlation functions of wave and particle quantities are derived. These are found to…

Wave-particle interactions in non-uniform plasma and the interpretation of Hard X-ray spectra in solar flares
