Summary
Transverse and longitudinal oscillations of a low-density relativistic plasma in the presence of a constant magnetic field are considered by neglecting the collisions. The most general form of the relativistic dispersion relations for linear plasma oscillations is derived and the two extreme cases of zero and infinite equilibrium temperatures are discussed.
Riassunto
Trascurando le collisioni si studiano le oscillazioni trasversali e longitudinali di un plasma relativistico di bassa densità in presenza di un campo magnetico costante. Si deduce la forma più generale delle relazioni di dispersione relativistiche per oscillazioni lineari del plasma e si discutono i due casi estremi di temperature di equilibrio nulla ed infinita.
