Ion cyclotron electrostatic waves in a low-temeprature low-density magnetized plasma

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The electrostatic dispersion relation for a low-temperature, low-density magnetized plasma has been studied in the range of the ion cyclotron frequency and its first harmonics. The presence of a forward wave and of an infinite number of backward waves has been shown. The characteristics of propagation of these modes and the possibility of conversion are analysed.

Riassunto

Viene studiata la relazione di dispersione elettrostatica relativa ad un plasma magnetizzato di bassa densità e di bassa temperatura nel campo della frequenza ciclotronica ionica e delle sue prime armoniche. Si mostra la presenza di un unico modo forward e di un insieme infinito di modi backward. Si analizzano le caratteristiche di propagazione di queste onde e la possibilità di conversioni tra di esse.

Резюме

Исследуется электростатическое дисперсионное соотношение для намагниченной плазмы с низкой температурой и низкой плотностью в области ионной циклотронной частоты и ее первой гармоники. Показывается наличие единственной моды в направлении вперед и бесконечного числа волн в обратном направлении. Анализируются характеристики распространения этих мод и возможность конверсии.
