Non-linear theory of cyclotron oscillations near a stable state of the plasma

A K Nekrasov

A non-linear equation is derived for an individual mode of electrostatic oscillations of small but finite amplitude in a plasma in a homogeneous magnetic field. The Larmor radius is assumed arbitrary. The method is based on a solution of the transport equation by perturbation theory to terms of third order inclusively. As examples, the non-linear evolution of the anisotropic, loss-cone and Dory-Guest-Harris instabilities of a non-equilibrium plasma is considered near the stability boundary of the ion cyclotron oscillations. It is shown that non-linearity (self-influence) stabilizes these instabilities. The typical maximal values of the amplitude of stable non-linear oscillations are found.
