INVESTIGATION OF THE MICROWAVE PROPERTIES OF PLASMAS. Scientific Report No. 5 Covering the Period August 1 to October 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4167506
The beam-interaction experiment was completed, and the results are discussed. A new tube for the production of thermal cesium plasma was constructed. Preliminary tests and measurements of this tube, as well as some of its operating characteristics, are presented. Projects on noise, harmonic generation, and microwave measurements in plasmas are summarized. Electron plasma waves, electron beam interaction with a plasma, parametric effects, electrostatic sound waves, and plasma confinement are discussed briefly. (W.D.M.)
