Abstract

Nonlinear forces on plasma particles in the presence of a test nonresonant wave and resonant plasma wave turbulence are calculated. The important feature of the considered nonlinear effect is that the forces due to the nonresonant test wave act on the plasma particles in the absence of linear and nonlinear resonances between the wave and the particles. Although in a closed plasma‐wave system the process is balanced by the quasilinear interaction between the plasma resonant turbulence and plasma particles (leading to nonstationarity and inhomogeneity of the system), in open systems the effect can be significant.
