Abstract

Propagation of transverse waves is studied in a Vlasov plasma consisting of a mixture of free electrons, weakly bound electrons, free static ions and static ions associated with the bound electrons, maintaining macroscopic charge neutralization. The dependence on temperature of the phase velocity, group velocity and Thomson scattering cross-section have been investigated. Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian of a compressible plasma having bound electrons in the fluid mixture approximation have been discussed.

Keywords

transverse waves; Vlasov plasma; macroscopically neutral; free and weakly bound electrons; free static ions; phase and group velocity
