Unified kinetic theory of induced scattering: Compton, Brillouin, and Raman processes in magnetized electron and positron pair plasma
read the original abstract
We extend a unified theoretical framework for induced (stimulated) scattering-parametric instabilities of electromagnetic waves, including induced Compton, stimulated Brillouin, and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in strongly magnetized electron-positron pair plasma. By solving the dispersion relations derived from kinetic theory, taking into account the ponderomotive force due to the beat of incident and scattered waves, we obtain analytical expressions for the linear growth rates of the ordinary, neutral, and charged modes of density fluctuations. Our results clarify which type of scattering dominates under different thermal coupling, resonance, and density conditions. In strong magnetic fields, scattering of perpendicularly polarized waves is generally suppressed, but by different powers of the cyclotron frequency. Moreover, SRS, which is forbidden in unmagnetized electron and positron pair plasma, becomes possible in the charged mode. This framework enables a comprehensive evaluation of induced scattering in extreme astrophysical and laboratory plasma, such as fast radio burst (FRB) emission and propagation in magnetar magnetospheres.

Scattering of Strong Radio Waves by Particles in Strongly Magnetized Plasmas and Implications for Fast Radio Bursts
Relativistic single-particle scattering cross sections for strong electromagnetic waves in strongly magnetized plasma are computed for arbitrary polarization and angle, showing strong suppression and sub-unity optical...

Interaction of Strong Electromagnetic Waves with Unmagnetized Pair Plasmas
Strong EM waves in pair plasmas are governed by nonlinearity parameter ε_p, producing attenuation over ε_p^{-2/3} wavelengths when small and shock formation when large.

Induced Scattering of Strong Waves in Pair Plasmas
Induced scattering of strong waves in pair plasmas saturates at a level set by the wave-to-plasma energy ratio, so waves with a0 ω0/ωpe ≫ 1 propagate with little scattering even when the amplitude a0 exceeds 1.
