On the effect of stochastic rf-fields on the stability of plasma

The effect of stochastic high-frequency fields on the stability of electrostatic plasma oscillations in a magnetostatic field is studied. The stabilizing effect can be provided by diffusion in configuration co-ordinates, as well as in the longitudinal and transverse velocities. The parameters of the stochastic field for effective stabilization are estimated, as well as the influence of the accompanying escape of particles due to the stochastic fields.
