Effective charge of photons and plasmons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2010
Abstract
We review the concept of photon effective charge in a plasma, and extend it to the case of longitudinal photons or plasmons. A simple electrostatic fluid model is considered in a non-magnetized and non-relativistic plasma. The contribution of the ions to the plasmon charge is also considered.
