[Auszug] The maximum amplitude of a plasma oscillation can be obtained from nonlinear plasma theory. As the wave grows, its waveform is no longer sinusoidal, that is, it steepens. In the cold-plasma theory5'7, wave-breaking occurs when this steepening is so extreme that there are singularities in ...
