Abstract
Kinetic analysis of an acoustic-like mode in a plasma with hot and col d ion components has been carried out. Under the short wavelength appr oximation (klambda(De) much greater than 1), electrons are assumed to form a dynamic neutralising background and their contribution to the p erturbation is neglected. The significant role of the hot ions to Land au damping of the acoustic-like mode is highlighted and a novel concep t of plasma experiment is suggested.
