Abstract
The interaction mechanism between plasma oscillation and radiation field in high temperature plasma is discussed with quantum mechanical treatment in the absence of external magnetic field. The radiation damping of plasma oscillation is evaluated and compared with the Landau damping, mode-coupling damping and collision damping. The radiation damping is much larger than the Landau damping in the range of wave vector of plasma oscillation k < k D /7 and is smaller than the mode-coupling damping by the order ( v T / c ) 3 for all range of k , where k D is the Debye cut-off wave vector, v T is the mean thermal speed of electrons and c is the light velocity.
