Excitation of lower hybrid waves by electron beams in finite geometry plasmas. Part 2. Surface waves
Abstract
The dispersion relations for the quasi-static lower hybrid surface waves are derived. Conditions for their existence and their linear excitation by a small density electron beam are discussed. Instabilities appearing in low-frequency surface waves are also discussed.
