The star mass spectrum (.5.1) shows that the ratio A/Z must be ≈ 5 for the<br />

Sum. It is in accordance with the calculated frequency of solar core oscillations if the<br />

averaged charge of nuclei Z ≈ 3.4. It is not a confusing conclusion, because the plasma<br />

electron gas prevents the decay of β-active nuclei (see Sec.10). This mechanism can<br />

probably to stabilize neutron-excess nuclei.<br />

9.4 The low frequency oscillation of the density<br />

of a neutral plasma<br />

Hot plasma has the density n ⋆ at its equilibrium state. The local deviations from<br />

this state induce processes of density oscillation since plasma tends to return to its<br />

steady-state density. If we consider small periodic oscillations of core radius<br />

R = R + u R · sin ω n⋆ t, (9.19)<br />

where a radial displacement of plasma particles is small (u R<br />

process of plasma density can be described by the equation<br />

≪ R), the oscillation<br />

plasma density are similar to phonons in solid bodies. At that oscillations with multiple<br />

frequencies kω n⋆ can exist. Their power is proportional to 1/κ, as the occupancy these<br />

levels in energy spectrum must be reversely proportional to their energy kω n⋆ . As<br />

result, low frequency oscillations of plasma density constitute set of vibrations<br />
