Induced Compton scattering in magnetized electron and positron pair plasma

A formulation for the parametric instability of electromagnetic waves in magnetized pair plasma is developed. The linear growth rate of induced Compton scattering is derived analytically for frequencies below the cyclotron frequency for the first time. We identify three modes of density fluctuation: ordinary, charged, and neutral modes. In the charged mode, the ponderomotive force separates charges (electrons and positrons) longitudinally, in contrast to the nonmagnetized case. We also recognize two effects that significantly reduce the scattering rate for waves polarized perpendicular to the magnetic field: (1) the gyroradius effect due to the magnetic suppression of particle orbits and (2) Debye screening effect for wavelengths larger than the Debye length. Applying this to fast radio bursts, we find that these effects facilitate the escape of X-mode waves from the magnetosphere and outflow of a magnetar and neutron star, enabling 100% polarization as observed. Our formulation provides a foundation for consistently addressing the nonlinear interaction of electromagnetic waves with magnetized plasma in astrophysics and laser physics.
