Stability of Plasma

Abstract

*) Здесь мы сразу ограничиваемся «газовым» приближением, т. е. считаем шгазму почти идеальным газом, что справедливо, если дебаевский радиус ионов (электронов) значительно превышает среднее расстояние между частицами. Однако ряд результа-тов по устойчивости, относящихся, в особенности, к магнитогидродинамическому приближению, имеет более широкую область применения.

Quasilinear transport approach to equilibration of quark-gluon plasmas

“…A similar, but incomplete effort was undertaken by Akkelin [39]. The derivation presented here closely follows the procedure developed for the electromagnetic plasma, where it is known as the quasi-linear theory or the theory of a weakly turbulent plasma [40][41][42]. The theory assumes that the distribution function of plasma particles can be decomposed into a large but slowly varying regular part and a small fluctuating or turbulent one which oscillates fast.…”

Movement and dispersal of inhomogeneities in plasma

“…Analogous problems arise in laboratory plasma in the investigation of inhomogeneities whose size is much smaller than the dimensions of the whole system. They are especially important in the analysis of stability [29][30][31][32]. We shall not be concerned here with the results of specific studies on the distribution and lifetimes of laboratory plasmas.…”

Transport of Heavy Quarks Across Glasma

“…We firstly derived the Fokker-Planck equation of heavy quarks which do not interact with plasma constituents but rather with soft classical fields present in the plasma. Specifically, we applied the so-called quasi-linear theory known from the electromagnetic plasma [9,11]. The theory assumes that the distribution function can be decomposed into a large but slowly varying regular part and a small fluctuating or turbulent one which oscillates fast.…”
