Plasma electric microfield distribution with the triplet correlation contribution: High-frequency component at a neutral point.
We report on nontrivial calculations of a triplet correlation contribution to the high-frequency component of the microfield distribution at a neutral particle point by utilizing an expansion, initially proposed by Baranger and Mozer, and demonstrate that its contribution leads to a shift of the maximum in the distribution to weaker fields relative to results including the pair correlation only. The entire picture of the high-frequency microfield distribution is studied and detailed comparison with the results of Hooper is made.
