DEF

Damping of a wave propagating in a hot plasma, due to the interaction of the wave with the particles of the plasma whose velocity is close to velocity Vphi of the wave.

CONT

the temperature effects only become significant for relativistic plasmas ... when Landau damping or non-collisional attenuation becomes important.

OBS

Term standardized by ISO.

DEF

Amortissement d'une onde se propageant dans un plasma chaud, dû à l'interaction de l'onde avec les particules du plasma dont la vitesse est voisine de la vitesse de phase Vphi de l'onde.

CONT

les effets de température ne deviennent notables que pour des plasmas relativistes [...] lorsque l'amortissement de Landau ou l'affaiblissement sans chocs devient important.
