Abstract

A self-consistent Vlasov equation treatment will be given for a type of echo which arises due to the relativistic velocity dependence of the gyrofrequency. We consider a relativistic plasma in a homogeneous magnetic field. If at t = 0 and t = T a spatially homogeneous external r.f. electric field is applied perpendicular to B0, then an echo response is produced at t = 2T. The amplitude of the echo is proportional to the amplitude of the first pulse multiplied by the square of the amplitude of the second pulse.
