Several questions in quasilinear plasma theory

In the framework of the quasilinear theory of plasma with radiative braking taken into account, we examine the change in the average distribution function and its first moments. It is shown that during the propagation of Langmuir waves in the plasma the radiative effects lead to an additional change in the distribution function. For this the total energy of the particles of the plasma is not conserved. We make numerical estimates of the rate of loss of the plasma energy. Effects due to radiative braking are manifested also during the propagation of electromagnetic waves and lead to the entrainment of the particles by the wave. The corresponding change of the distribution function with tine is found.
