Ion Acoustic Parametric Decay Instabilities with Strong Ion Landau Damping
Abstract
Collective plasma phenomena similar to those occurring in the ionosphere upon incidence of intense electromagnetic waves have been studied in laboratory Q-machine plasmas. In particular, the ion acoustic parametric decay instability, of special interest with regard to the ionosphere, has been studied since it causes strongly enhanced absorption of electromagnetic waves.
