Anomalous spatial depletion of the lower hybrid cone through parametric decay
Analytic solution for the envelope structures of two nonlinearly coupled lower hybrid waves propagating along their respective cone trajectories are obtained. The coupling occurs through induced scattering by particles. The results indicate anomalous spatial pump depletion may be important for present and future large scale tokamaks. Implications to plasma heating are also discussed.
