The linear theory of wave packets propagating in the whistler mode
We discuss the propagation of wave packets of the form ei(ωt - kz) G(z,t) in an infinite uniform plasma (in both the formal cold plasma, and hot collision-free Vlasov plasma limit), where G(z,t) is a slowly varying function of space z and time t. One can derive the equation of change of G(z,t) (in b...
