Rational paradigm of plasma physics
Abstract
In recent studies we have multiply envisioned the irrationality of the traditional plasma kinetis [1--5]. Its basic false cornerstone was shown to be the substitution of real plasmas by plasma probabilistic ensembles [1--3]. We have created culture of plasma studies with refrain from an ensemble substitution [1-8]. We discovered intense decay of Langmuir quanta, as opposite to traditional deduction of their conservation [1-3]. The quanta decay prevents formation of Langmuir condensate in a weak Langmuir turbulence [1, Appendix], suppresses long-wavelength plasma modulational instability [3], precludes Langmuir wave collapses [1-3]. Besides, it helped to highlight the uselessness of hydrodynamic modelling of plasma nonlinear phenomena [2-3], to state an inadequateness of modelling collisionless plasma by the Vlasov equation [3], to state of inadequateness of ``Particle in Cell'' method of numerical plasma simulation to the plasma nature [3]. Finally, it was shown that existed theory undervalued notably the intensity of induced scattering of short Langmuir waves [4] and distorted physics of the electron distribution evolution during this scattering [8]. With this, an extensive revision of the plasma physics and of the theoretical physics in general are needed.
