Kn. Ovchinnikov et Vp. Silin, DAMPING OF THE ION-MAGNETOSOUND OSCILLATIONS IN A WEAKLY COLLISIONAL PLASMA, Plasma physics reports, 23(5), 1997, pp. 378-382
The contribution of electron collisions to the damping rates of magnet
osonic oscillations is calculated under the conditions when the mean f
ree path of the thermal plasma electrons is greater than the wavelengt
h of the magnetosonic oscillations.
