    Graduate Physical significance of growth rate in plasma

    Let us say that we have a dispersion relation curve and associated instability curve as shown below for a magnetised plasma, which have been formulated through kinetic theory. The frequencies and growth rate have been normalized w.r.t. cyclotron frequency of proton. My question is: what does...

    Graduate Small & large argument expansion of plasma dispersion function

    In plasma physics we have what is known as plasma dispersion function. There are two approximation under which this function can be expanded: when the argument is less than 1, we can use power series expansion and when the argument is greater than 1 we can have asymptotic expression. My...

    Undergrad Integration of 1 variable in 2 different ways.

    OMG :nb). Ya, that's correct. But, if P and V is a function of x, then ? In fact i did that calculation keeping this in mind that P and V is a function of x.

    Undergrad Integration of 1 variable in 2 different ways.

    I have to do a integration which goes like this: (V-M)(dP/dx)+3P(dV/dx)=0, (where M,P and V are constants). If you integrate with dx, you will get: ∫[(V-M)dP]+∫[3PdV]=0. which ultimately results in the answer M=4V. Now, i can put the first equation in this form also...

    Graduate Integrating sine where argument goes to infinity.

    Okay. i am trying to derive a dispersion relation in magnetized plasma with kinetic approach. By the by i am taking only two terms, just forget about the last term in the above equation. We will encounter a term##I= \int_0^\infty cos(\phi-\phi')e^{g_1(\phi')}\,d\phi'\\## where ##g_1(\phi')= i...

    Graduate Integrating sine where argument goes to infinity.

    After some integration, i am getting a form e^{i \alpha\phi+i\beta\phi\sin(\phi-\phi')-i\gamma\sin\phi} , where ##\alpha, \beta, \gamma## are constants. Now i want to apply the limit where ##\phi ## ranges from 0 to ##\infty ## (ya, in the argument of sine we will encounter ##\infty ## which is...
