On Nonlinear Alfv\'en Waves Generated by Cosmic Ray Streaming Instability

Astrophysics 2016-08-30 v1

Abstract

Nonlinear damping of parallel propagating Alfv\'en waves in high-β\beta plasma is considered. Trapping of thermal ions and Coulomb collisions are taken into account. Saturated damping rate is calculated. Applications are made for cosmic ray propagation in the Galaxy.
