Abstract

The plasmon scattering by electrons in the simultaneous presence of laser and magnetic fields is discussed. A kinetic equation is derived, and the rate of change of the plasmon population is calculated. For laser radiation propagating parallel to the magnetic field it is found that multiphoton processes are dominant when the laser frequency is near the electron cyclotron frequency. Furthermore, the damping rate is found to decrease exponentially as the laser frequency approaches the electron cyclotron frequency.
