Title: Alfven wave cyclotron resonance heating

Abstract

The resonance absorption of fast Alfven waves at the proton cyclotron resonance of a predominately deuterium plasma is investigated. An approximate dispersion relation is derived, valid in the vicinity of the resonance, which permits an exact calculation of transmission and reflection coefficients. For reasonable plasma parameters significant linear resonance absorption is found.
