Title: Collisional and Landau damping of ion-acoustic waves in a two electron temperature plasma
Abstract: Propagation of low-amplitude ion-acoustic waves at low frequencies is studied in a DP-machine with a plasma exhibiting two maxwellian electron temperatures. Damping rate and phase velocity are found in agreement with a linear kinetic theory including two electron temperatures, the total damping consisting of exponential Landau decay and a small collisional contribution.
