Oscillations in a One-Dimensional, Inhomogenous Plasma,
Abstract
Oscillations in finite, inhomogeneous plasmas have received considerable attention recently in connection with the interpretation of the so-called Tonks-Dattner resonances. Although some progress has been made in calculating the resonance frequencies from the moment equations for a cold and warm plasma, attempts to calculate the Landau damping of these modes have not led to tangible results. In this report a rigorous formulation of the problem is given and detailed calculations presented of the eigen frequencies and their damping rates for a one-dimensional, inhomogeneous plasma in the long wavelength regime.
