Statistical mechanics of a weakly turbulent stable plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The statistical mechanics of the weakly turbulent plasma is treated in an original manner by introducing the waves by means of the van Kampen modes. A system of coupled equations is derived which relates the correlations between waves and waves, waves and particles, particles and particles. The quasilinear theory is obtained at the first order, and the coupling wave equation at second order, under suitable assumptions.
