SWhat changed
Solved the linearized electron-plasma initial-value problem and derived collisionless decay through velocity-space phase mixing.
Scientific scope
The record is Landau's sole-author 1946 Journal of Physics (USSR) paper, checked through a later republication record and an English institutional copy. Nonlinear Landau damping, experimental confirmation and later rigorous proofs remain separate.
