On the development and evolution of nonlinear ion acoustic wave packets
A simple model of ion fluctuations (ion acoustic and ion cyclotron fluctuations for example) driven by an electron current which leads to intermittent fluctuations when the linear growth rate exceeds the wave packet dispersion rate is analized. The normalized fluctuation amplitude <i>e<...
