AbstractAbstract
[en] A study is made of the formation of the spectra of Langmuir waves excited as a result of the development of beam-plasma instability in a collisionless magnetized plasma with low-frequency turbulence. Equations are derived that describe the dynamics of the formation of spectra in the quasilinear statistical approximation. The equations obtained account for small- and large-angle scattering of the electron-beam-excited waves by given background plasma density fluctuations. The scattering of Langmuir waves leads to the redistribution of their energy in phase space and, under appropriate conditions, to the appearance of a characteristic dent in the wave spectra in the frequency range where the spectral intensity is maximum. Numerical simulations carried out for plasma parameters typical of the polar cap of the Earth's magnetosphere help to explain the shape of the spectra of Langmuir waves that were recorded by the Interball-2 satellite when it was flying through this magnetospheric region
