Dynamics of Plasma in a Plasma-Microwave Amplifier under the Action of the Miller’s Force

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of plasma in a high-power plasma-microwave amplifier with a submicrosecond pulse duration. It is shown that, in the case of a linear mode (a short system length or a small input signal level), a discontinuity in the plasma density can form near the output boundary due to the escape of particles towards the amplifier input, which can lead to radiation breakdown. When the amplifier operates in the saturation mode, the plasma displacement has a multidirectional character, and a density discontinuity is not formed. At an increase in the initial plasma density, the effect of its pushing out weakens.
