When the density gradient is positive along the propagation direction of an EPW, its wavenumber decreases with time and consequently its phase velocity increases continuously, causing the trapped electrons to be accelerated to anomalous high energy. Furthermore, it is found that the Langmuir decay instability tends to reduce the levels of SRS saturation and electron acceleration and produce hot electrons in the opposite direction.

The evolution of electromagnetic LHW has been studied with numerical model using pseudo-spectral method for spatial integration and finite difference method with modified predictor-corrector approach for temporal integration. We have considered both ion and electron dynamics and included electromagnetic and warm plasma effects in our model. The study outcomes reveal that both the nonlinear effects and magnetic islands are responsible for the evolution of LHWs and current sheets to a chaotic and turbulent state. We have also used the semi-analytical model to elaborate on the physics behind the localization.
