GENERATION AND THERMALIZATION OF PLASMA WAVES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4306319

Using linearized hydromagnetic equations, the energy transfer to a cylindrical low temperature plasma in a uniform axial magnetic field from an external forcing coil is calculated. Ion cyclctron and hydromagnetic waves are generated. Of particular interest is the thermalization of the ion cycloctron waves via a cycloctron damping effect. (auth)
