Abstract

AbstractWe consider the excitation and dispersion of ion acoustic waves in expanding ultracold plasmas, taking into account the influence of boundary conditions. A cylindrical plasma geometry is assumed. We show that temporal changes in the medium lead to a wave frequency shift, associated with an evolving radial and standing wave mode structure, and to the temporal change of the background plasma parameters. A non-collisional model for the cylindrical geometry is also proposed.
