Microwave propagation and attenuation in magnetoplasmas. Final report, 1 Jun 90-30 Nov 91
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7235405
The research team has conducted experimental studies of anomalous absorption of radio waves in turbulent magnetized plasmas. This research program includes laboratory experiments with the newly constructed Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF) at the MIT Plasma Fusion Center and the field experiments using orbiting satellites and ground-based radars at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The design and construction of the Versatile Toroidal Facility involved five graduate students and twenty-two UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) students. This student-oriented project was reported in the 1991 March 6 issue of the MIT Tech Talk. The detailed documentation and discussions of this VTF plasma device are presented in two M.S. theses. Attached are the abstracts of these two graduate theses.
