Wave-breaking limits for relativistic electrostatic waves in a one-dimensional warm plasma
- Abstract:
-
The propagation of electrostatic plasma waves having relativistic phase speed and amplitude has been studied. The plasma is described as a warm, relativistic, collisionless, nonequilibrium, one-dimensional electron fluid. Wave-breaking limits for the electrostatic field are calculated for nonrelativistic initial plasma temperatures and arbitrary phase velocities, and a correspondence between wave breaking and background particle trapping has been uncovered. Particular care is given to the ult...
