Abstract
The classical wave-particle Hamiltonian is considered in its generalized version, where two modes are assumed to interact with the coevolving charged particles. The equilibrium statistical mechanics solution of the model is worked out analytically, both in the canonical and the microcanonical ensembles. The competition between the two modes is shown to yield ensemble inequivalence, at variance with the standard scenario where just one wave is allowed to develop. As a consequence, both temperature jumps and negative specific heat can show up in the microcanonical ensemble. The relevance of these findings for both plasma physics and free electron laser applications is discussed.

- As already mentioned, the coupling constants are treated as free parameters. In real experiments, the strength of the coupling constants results, however, from the geometry of the apparatus. In principle, by operating with specific filters, one can select a subset of sought modes, and so probe the theory predictions via dedicated experimental designs.
- The equilibrium statistical mechanics solution for the beam-plasma version of the model in the microcanonical ensemble has been considered in [21], for the simplifying setting where the strength of the coupling is neglected.
- In principle one can introduce an alternative quantity to investigate the equilibrium of the system. This is the so-called bunching parameter, which measures the degree of particle clustering. It could be shown, however, that the introduction of such additional (global) quantitities yields a redundant equation in the variational problem, the bunching being determined by the intensity of the wave [15, 27, 28].
