Summary
Landau Damping
is a
Phenomenon in plasma physics
where certain
Wave disturbances in a collisionless plasma
are damped without any
Energy loss to the particles
, due to the
Distribution of particle velocities
. It occurs when the
Phase velocity of the wave
is close to the
Velocity of a significant number of particles
, leading to a
Transfer of energy from the wave to the particles
, effectively
Reducing the wave's amplitude
.
