Abstract
Using a kappa velocity distribution function for the electrons of the background plasma, the dynamics of a beam of hot electrons streaming through the plasma and the generation of Langmuir waves are investigated in the frame work of quasilinear theory. It is shown that the Langmuir waves are strongly damped by high energy tail of the Kappa distribution function. The spatial expansion of the beam is reduced and the spectral density of Langmuir waves becomes narrower. The height of the plateau in the beam distribution function increases at small velocities and the average velocity of beam is larger than that of a Maxwellian distribution. The influence of Kappa velocity distribution function on the gasdynamical parameters is investigated. It is found that, the height of plateau in the beam distribution function, and its lower velocity boundary are enhanced while, the local beam width in velocity space decreases.
