Electromagnetic Forces on Plasma Particles in the Presence of Resonant
and Nonresonant Plasma Turbulence
Contributions to Plasma Physics, Vol. 37, No. 4, Pp. 293-301 (1997)
Abstract
Nonlinear forces on plasma particles in the presence of a test nonresonant wave
and resonant plasma wave turbulence are calculated. The important feature of
the considered nonlinear effect is that the forces due to the nonresonant test
wave act on the plasma particles in the absence of linear and nonlinear resonances
between the wave and the particles. Although in a closed plasma-wave system the
process is balanced by the quasilinear interaction between the plasma resonant
turbulence and plasma particles (leading to nonstationarity and inhomogeneity
of the system), in open systems the effect can be significant.
