Abstract
This article is intended as a short guide to the field of “Langmuir turbulence.” Various theoretical and experimental studies on Langmuir turbulence have been carried out since the 1960s; consequently, a number of its fascinating properties have been uncovered. However, there still remain important unsolved issues in this basic field of plasma physics. In the present article, the history and recent research activities concerning Langmuir turbulence are briefly reviewed.
