Resonance cones and guided wave modes
Abstract
A brief review of resonance cones in magnetized plasmas and their relationship with guided wave modes in bounded plasmas is given. It is shown that these two concepts are related mathematically by a Watson transformation, and physically by being complementary descriptions of waves in a warm bounded plasma. A detailed summary of the complementary nature of these two wave descriptions is given.
