EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PLASMA ALFVEN-WAVE PROPERTIES
Alfven hydromagnetic waves are propagated through a cylindrical plasma The wavo velocity, attenuation, impedance, and energy transfer are studied. The thecretical equations predict correctly the functional dependence of the velocity and attenuation, and from these quantities accurate measurements of plasma density and temperature can be obtained. A qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for the hydromaginetic coaxial waveguide impedance, and the energy transferred from an oscillating circuit to the hydromagnetic wave is measured to be 43 plus or minus 10%.
