Abstract

The interaction of nonlinear Langmuir wave packets corresponding to periodic solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with thermal plasma particles is considered. The mechanism of interaction is nonlinear Landau damping. The wave packets are slowed down owing to interaction but their amplitudes remain essentially unchanged. The characteristic scale lengths of the slowing down are determined.
