Electrostatic wave breaking limit in a cold electronegative plasma with non-Maxwellian electrons

Abstract A one-dimensional multifluid hydrodynamic model has been adopted as basis for an investigation of the role of suprathermal electrons on the wave breaking amplitude limit for electrostatic excitations propagating in an electronegative plasma. A three-component plasma is considered, consistin...
