Trapped particle bounds on stimulated scatter in the large k/kD regime

Plasma Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

In the strongly damped regime, the convective gain rate for stimulated scatter varies inversely with the plasma wave damping rate. Electron trapping effects reduce the damping but also lead to loss of resonance for large enough amplitude waves. This leads to a gain rate bound and corresponding optimum scattered light frequency and plasma wave amplitude.
