Abstract
The high-frequency Langmuir-type oscillations in a pure pair plasma are studied using Vlasov-Poisson's equations in the presence of hybrid nonthermal nonextensive distributed species. The characteristics of the Langmuir oscillations, Landau damping, and growing unstable modes in a nonthermal nonextensive electron-positron (EP) plasma are remarkably modified. It is found that the phase velocity of the Langmuir waves increases by decreasing (increasing) the value of nonextensive (nonthermal) parameter, q (α). In particular, depending on the degree of nonthermality and nonextensivity, both damping and growing oscillations are predicted in the proposed EP plasma. It is seen that the Langmuir waves suffer from Landau damping in two different q regions. Furthermore, the mechanism that leads to unstable modes is established in the context of the nonthermal nonextensive formalism, yet the damping mechanism is the same developed by Landau. The present study is useful in the regions where such mixed distributions in space or laboratory plasmas exist.
