Abstract
Nonlinear forces on plasma particles in the presence of a test nonreso nant wave and resonant plasma wave turbulence are calculated. The impo rtant feature of the considered nonlinear effect is that the forces du e to the nonresonant test wave act on the plasma particles in the abse nce of linear and nonlinear resonances between the wave and the partic les. Although in a closed plasma-wave system the process is balanced b y the quasilinear interaction between the plasma resonant turbulence a nd plasma particles (leading to nonstationarity and inhomogeneity of t he system), in open systems the effect can be significant.
