Landau damping/growing at boundary condition of excitation of a harmonic wave in collisionless ion-electron-neutrals plasma contradicts to the law of energy conservation of a wave damping/growing in space. There is also no criterion of a choice either damping or growing solution in difference from always non-damping in the direction of propagation Vlasov waves. Variety of other incongruities as consequence of Landau damping is specified also. Absence of explicit positivity and finiteness of wave solutions for electron distribution function near singularity point leads to need of imposing additional cutting off constraints with resulting positivity and finiteness of the electron distribution function at the singularity points and finiteness of the complex dispersion integral. Landau damping as a real physical phenomenon of collisionless damping does not exist. A relation is established for the real dispersion equation with real waves (see Appendices 2,4) between the averaged over period wave damping decrement and the collisional energy-exchange term of kinetic equation. Collisionless Vlasov-Landau damping is explained finally by the usual wrong use of nonlinearly complex wave functions leading to complex dispersion equation. All used solution of the complex dispersion equation for the simultaneously existing collisionless both exponentially damping and growing nonlinear complex waves is entirely, quantitatively and in its logical sense, different from the solution of initially real dispersion equation for real either damping or growing waves and should be discarded (see Appendices 2,4,5,6). Collisionless damping is caused by unreasonable use of wave functions with complex frequency or complex wave number leading to complex dispersion relation with unphysical binomial virtual complex roots. Thus finding roots of the complex dispersion equation has only abstract mathematical interest.

Kinetic treatments of drift-tearing modes that match an inner resonant layer solution to an external MHD region solution, characterised by $Delta^{prime}$, fail to properly match the ideal MHD boundary condition on the parallel electric field, $E_{pa rallel}.$ In this paper we demonstrate how consideration of ion sound and ion Landau damping effects achieves this and place the theory on a firm footing. As a consequence, these effects contribute quite significantly to the critical value of $Delta^{prime}$ for instability of drift-tearing modes and play a key role in determining the minimum value for this threshold.
We suggest a new relativity principle, which asserts the impossibility to distinguish the state of rest and the state of motion at the constant velocity of a system, if no work is done to the system in question during its motion. We suggest calling t his new rule as conservative relativity principle (CRP). In the case of an empty space, CRP is reduced to the Einstein special relativity principle. We also show that CRP is compatible with the general relativity principle. One of important implications of CRP is the dependence of the proper time of a charged particle on the electric potential at its location. In the present paper we consider the relevant experimental facts gathered up to now, where the latter effect can be revealed. We show that in atomic physics the introduction of this effect furnishes a better convergence between theory and experiment than that provided by the standard approach. Finally, we reanalyze the Moessbauer experiments in rotating systems and show that the obtained recently puzzling deviation of the relative energy shift between emission and absorption lines from the relativistic prediction can be explained by the CRP.

This paper brings further insight into the recently published N-body description of Debye shielding and Landau damping [Escande D F, Elskens Y and Doveil F 2014 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 57 025017]. Its fundamental equation for the electrostatic p otential is derived in a simpler and more rigorous way. Various physical consequences of the new approach are discussed, and this approach is compared with the seminal one by Pines and Bohm [Pines D and Bohm D 1952 Phys. Rev. 85 338--353].
We have investigated the effects of strong magnetic field on the properties of quarkonia immersed in a thermal medium of quarks and gluons and studied its quasi-free dissociation due to the Landau-damping. Thermalizing the Schwinger propagator in the lowest Landau levels for quarks and the Feynman propagator for gluons in real-time formalism, we have calculated the resummed retarded and symmetric propagators, which in turn give the real and imaginary components of dielectric permittivity, respectively. The magnetic field affects the large-distance interaction more than the short-distance interaction, as a result, the real part of potential becomes more attractive and the magnitude of imaginary part too becomes larger, compared to the thermal medium in absence of strong magnetic field. As a consequence the average size of $J/psi$s and $psi^prime$s are increased but $chi_c$s get shrunk. Similarly the magnetic field affects the binding of $J/psi$s and $chi_c$s discriminately, i.e. it decreases the binding of $J/psi$ and increases for $chi_c$. However, the further increase in magnetic field results in the decrease of binding energies. On contrary the magnetic field increases the width of the resonances, unless the temperature is sufficiently high. We have finally studied how the presence of magnetic field affects the dissolution of quarkonia in a thermal medium due to the Landau damping, where the dissociation temperatures are found to increase compared to the thermal medium in absence of magnetic field. However, further increase of magnetic field decreases the dissociation temperatures. For example, $J/psi$s and $chi_c$s are dissociated at higher temperatures at 2 $T_c$ and 1.1 $T_c$ at a magnetic field $eB approx 6~{rm{and}}~4~m_pi^2$, respectively, compared to the values 1.60 $T_c$ and 0.8 $T_c$ in the absence of magnetic field, respectively.
How turbulent energy is dissipated in weakly collisional space and astrophysical plasmas is a major open question. Here, we present the application of a field-particle correlation technique to directly measure the transfer of energy between the turbu lent electromagnetic field and electrons in the Earths magnetosheath, the region of solar wind downstream of the Earths bow shock. The measurement of the secular energy transfer from the parallel electric field as a function of electron velocity shows a signature consistent with Landau damping. This signature is coherent over time, close to the predicted resonant velocity, similar to that seen in kinetic Alfven turbulence simulations, and disappears under phase randomisation. This suggests that electron Landau damping could play a significant role in turbulent plasma heating, and that the technique is a valuable tool for determining the particle energisation processes operating in space and astrophysical plasmas.
