We solve for the complex frequency spectrum for arbitrary values of wavenumber $k$ and level of degeneracy $\\mu$. Our finding is that for large $k$ and high $\\mu$ the real part of the frequency $\\omega_{r}$ grows linearly with $k$ and scales with $\\mu$ only because of the scaling of the Fermi energy. In this regime the relative Landau damping rate $\\gamma/\\omega_{r}$ becomes independent of $k$ and varies inversly with $\\mu$. Thus, damping is weak but f"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1506.05494","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
