# Dynamics of electron beams in the solar corona plasma with density fluctuations

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how electron beams propagate in the solar corona plasma with small-scale density fluctuations, affecting Langmuir wave distribution and implications for solar radio emissions.

## Contribution

It demonstrates that electron beams form beam-plasma structures in inhomogeneous plasma and links plasma density fluctuations to wave distribution and radio emission processes.

## Key findings

- Electron beams form beam-plasma structures in inhomogeneous plasma.
- Plasma density fluctuations influence the spatial distribution of Langmuir waves.
- Implications for understanding solar radio emission mechanisms.

## Abstract

The problem of beam propagation in a plasma with small scale and low intensity inhomogeneities is investigated. It is shown that the electron beam propagates in a plasma as a beam-plasma structure and is a source of Langmuir waves. The plasma inhomogeneity changes the spatial distribution of the waves. The spatial distribution of the waves is fully determined by the distribution of plasma inhomogeneities. The possible applications to the theory of radio emission associated with electron beams are discussed.
