✦ Synopsis

A hydrodynamic analysis is presented of the dispersion and damping of long wavelength plasma oscillations in a partially ionized plasma. It is shown that the ionization equilibrium leads to an additional damping mechanism which manifests itself in a term proportional to the square of the wavenumber.
