OSTI ID:4144040
Theoretical and experimental studies of plasma acceleration by nonuniform r-f fields are presented. Theoretical considerations indicate that a plasma will be accelerated toward the low-field region if the applied frequency is greater than the plasma frequency and toward the highfield region if the frequency is less than the plasma frequency. Pulses of mercury plasma were generated in a reproducible way, and an r-f system was designed and operated. Phototubes and electron and ion pickup probes were used for detecting the moving plasma. Oscillograms show a change in plasma velocity as the r-f field is applied. (auth)
