Wave propagation in a strongly coupled magnetized plasma

POSTER

Abstract

Strongly coupled plasmas play a growing role in many fields of physics---from dusty plasmas to compact stars and the quark-gluon plasma, e.g.~[1]. In many cases these plasmas are subject to a strong magnetic field. The one-component plasma (OCP) model is often used to theoretically analyze strong plasma correlations. Here the wave propagation in a strongly coupled OCP subject to an external magnetic field is investigated by means of the quasi- localized charge approximation~[2]. The dispersion relation and the wave polarization are studied for wave propagation across and along the magnetic field as well as for arbitrary directions of the wave vector. \\[1ex] [1] M.
