Conservation of Quasiparticles in Weakly Turbulent Plasmas

An expansion making use of the eikonal is shown to yield a solution to the equations of a general weak turbulent plasma which is weakly dependent on space and time. The method is used to derive a quasiparticle conservation equation for quasistatic perturbations of Vlasov plasmas with general equilib...

Description
Summary:An expansion making use of the eikonal is shown to yield a solution to the equations of a general weak turbulent plasma which is weakly dependent on space and time. The method is used to derive a quasiparticle conservation equation for quasistatic perturbations of Vlasov plasmas with general equilibrium field configurations.
