Аннотация:The influence of density inhomogeneity on the Langmuir oscillations breaking in plasma in the plane one-dimensional geometry is investigatedanalytically and numerically. It is shown that the breaking of the Langmuir oscillations in an inhomogeneous plasma occurs as theresult of the formation, rapid growth, and approaching to infinity of the maximum of electron density located outside the plane, with respectto which the electrons oscillate. The dependence of the Langmuir oscillations breaking time on the size of the plasma inhomogeneity is investigated,and it is shown that the sharper the density gradient and the greater strength of the initial electric field, the breaking is faster.
