Abstract

Propagation of longitudinal electron modes in Maxwellian plasma is discussed using both the Vlasov equation and the 13-moment equations. Both methods are shown to be consistent and in addition both methods are shown to predict a second (heavily damped) mode which propagates below as well as above the plasma frequency. The results are in excellent agreement with earlier experiments for near-equilibrium plasmas.
