Thomson scattering in inhomogeneous plasmas: The Role of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem

Abstract A self-consistent kinetic theory of Thomson scattering of an electromagnetic field by a non-uniform plasma is derived. We draw the readers’ attention to the inconsistency in recent results on the Thomson scattering in inhomogeneous plasma, which leads to violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipa...
