Physical Aspects of the Plasma-Maser Interaction
Physics Letters A, Vol. 184, No. 6, Pp. 454-458 (1994)
Abstract
The plasma-maser interaction of Langmuir waves with
ion-acoustic waves and electrons of a plasma and a beam
is considered.
It is found that the maximum rates of the plasma-maser instability
are connected with the stochastic properties of
the nonresonant ion-sound turbulence and those of the resonant Langmuir
waves. The
condition for dominance of the plasma-maser effect over the linear
Landau instability is obtained. The physical aspects of the
plasma-maser interaction are discussed.
