Frequency Dependence of Plasma Acceleration by Radio-Frequency Field Gradient
Plasma acceleration by an rf field gradient has been observed for both 140 and 330 Mc fields. The kinetic-energy gain of the accelerated ions varied inversely with the applied frequency. Comparison with theory indicates that in the interaction region most of the accelerated plasma has a resonant frequency near the applied frequency. The collision frequency which limits the acceleration in the test apparatus is calculated to be 6 Mc.
