Influence of a high frequency pump on trapped particle modes
Abstract
We investigate the influence of a lower hybrid pump field on the dispersion characteristics of various trapped particle modes and delineate the conditions for their excitation or suppression. Our calculations also reveal the existence of certain new instabilities driven by the pump.
