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.
## Abstract The interaction of partially ionized plasmas with an electromagnetic field is investigated using quantum statistical methods. A general statistical expression for the current density of a plasma in an electromagnetic field is presented and considered in the linear response and the high
