Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The diffraction of transverse and longitudinal plane waves by a thin nonconducting perfectly rigid half-plane in a hot plasma is examined. The general solution of the problem and asymptotic formulas for the far zone are found. It is shown that they are significantly simplified for frequencies well above the plasma frequency. The behavior of the field near the edge is analyzed.
