Abstract
We study the statistical properties of nonlinear wave-wave interaction in a system consisting of three Langmuir waves and one ion-sound wave. Such a system describes either a cascade of two decay instabilties or a modified decay instability. We pay a particular attention to the phases which in some cases exhibit a chaotic synchronization, showing a transition from three-wave to four-wave interaction.
