Abstract

Results of experimental studies of the effect of an external RF field on the excitation of oscillations in a magnetoplasmadynamic plasma accelerator are presented. It is found that applying an RF field can suppress the drift component of low-frequency oscillations in the ejected plasma flow. The experimental data agree with the concept of stabilization of the plasma accelerator by the magnetic component of the field generated by the RF current loop. The conditions under which the RF field stabilizes the generation of the plasma flow are determined, and the factors limiting the stabilization efficiency are revealed.
