Abstract
Intense Langmuir waves in a uniform, one‐dimensional plasma are described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. When the effect of linear damping is included, steady‐state shock wave solutions are found. Infinitely extended shock waves are produced by Landau damping; these shocks are moving with respect to the laboratory frame. Semi‐infinitely extended shock waves are produced by either collisional or Landau damping; these shocks are stationary in the laboratory frame, and have an energy flux through the boundary.
