Electron heating by the R-X mode in ECR plasma sources

Abstract

The quasilinear theory of electron cyclotron heating by right hand polarized extraordinary waves propagating nearly parallel to an inhomogeneous magnetic field is discussed. In contrast with most of the application of quasilinear theory, we consider arbitrary values of the wave damping since this is in general the case of resonance absorption of the R-X wave. We also discuss the related problem of enhanced emission and/or transmission of radiation normal to the magnetic field near the second harmonic for purposes of plasma diagnostics. The physical situations considered here are typical of ECRH for plasma formation for material processing.
