Abstract

We study nonlinear effects associated with large amplitude electron plasma waves propagating at an arbitrary angle to the external magnetic field. It is shown that the nonlinear coupling of high-frequency plasma waves with static density perturbations leads to a convective instability. The growth length of the latter is obtained. The evolution of the wave electric field is also investigated.
