Abstract. Small amplitude electron - acoustic solitons are studied in a magnetized plasma consisting of two types of electrons, namely cold electron beam and background plasma electrons and two temperature ion plasma. The analysis predicts rarefactive solitons. The model may provide a possible explanation for the perpendicular polarization of the low-frequency component of the broadband electrostatic noise observed in the Earth's magnetotail.

Weakly Nonlinear Waves

AbstractWe determine the growth rate of linear instabilities resulting from long-wavelength transverse perturbations applied to periodic nonlinear wave solutions to the Schamel–Korteweg–de Vries–Zakharov–Kuznetsov (SKdVZK) equation which governs weakly nonlinear waves in a strongly magnetized cold-ion plasma whose electron distribution is given by two Maxwellians at slightly different temperatures. To obtain the growth rate it is necessary to evaluate non-trivial integrals whose number is kept to a minimum by using recursion relations. It is shown that a key instance of one such relation cannot be used for classes of solution whose minimum value is zero, and an additional integral must be evaluated explicitly instead. The SKdVZK equation contains two nonlinear terms whose ratio b increases as the electron distribution becomes increasingly flat-topped. As b and hence the deviation from electron isothermality increases, it is found that for cnoidal wave solutions that travel faster than long-wavelength linear waves, there is a more pronounced variation of the growth rate with the angle θ at which the perturbation is applied. Solutions whose minimum values are zero and which travel slower than long-wavelength linear waves are found, at first order, to be stable to perpendicular perturbations and have a relatively narrow range of θ for which the first-order growth rate is not zero.

Particle diffusion is investigated in a strictly two-dimensional collisionless guiding-centre model for a strongly magnetized plasma. An analytical expression is presented for the entire time variation of the mean square test-particle displacement in the limit of low-frequency, strongly turbulent, electric field fluctuations. The analysis relies on an explicit integral expression for the Lagrangian autocorrelation function in terms of the Eulerian wavenumber spectrum and a time-varying weight function. Bohm diffusion is discussed by means of a simple model spectrum. The analysis applies for turbulent transport associated with electrostatic convective cells, magnetostatic cells and drift wave turbulence with the assumption of local homogeneity and isotropy in two dimensions.

Electron Acoustic

Nonlinear interaction between Langmuir waves and Electron Acoustic Wave (EAW) is being studied in a warm magnetized plasma in presence of two intermingled fluids, hot electrons, and cold electrons while ions forming static background. Two-fluid, two-timescale theory is performed to derive modified Zakharov's equations in a magnetized plasma. These coupled equations describe low-frequency response of electron density due to high-frequency electric field along with magnetic field perturbations. Linear analysis shows coupling between acoustic mode, upper hybrid mode, and cyclotron modes. These modes are found to be modified due to the presence of two electron components. These equations are significant in the context of weak and strong turbulence.

The Magnetized Plasma Linear Experimental (MaPLE) device is developed in the plasma physics laboratory of the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics for studying basic plasma physics phenomena like waves, instabilities and their nonlinear behavior in magnetized plasma. Details description of the device and its plasma characteristics are presented. The machine provides flexibilities in terms of magnetic configuration and plasma sources. Recently, low frequency drift waves are excited in the weak density gradient region of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) produced low density plasmas and their nonlinear coupling is studied. Results of this experiment and some more experiments done in the device are summarized. Reasoning behind a possible upgrade plan of the device for studying shear Alfven waves (SAW) and magnetic drift waves in future is also discussed.
