Abstract

Nonlinear decay of large-amplitude ordinary and extraordinary electromagnetic waves into an electrostatic upper-hybrid wave and a slow shear Alfvén wave in a low-β plasma is considered. Expressions for the growth rates and thresholds are obtained. Applications of this investigation to both space and laboratory plasmas are pointed out.
