Abstract

It is well known that the properties of stable quiescent plasma may be calculated by a method known as the ‘superposition of dressed particles’. In this paper an analogous superposition principle is constructed for turbulent plasmas. This shows that the turbulent fluctuations may suppress the growth of the instabilities that give rise to them. The fluctuation spectrum, diffusion coefficient and dielectric constant of turbulent plasma are calculated for the guiding centre model. The relationship of this theory to that of Dupree and Weinstock is discussed.
