Survey of lower hybrid studies
Abstract
A number of experiments carried out by U.S. and Soviet investigators at frequencies near the lower hybrid are reviewed, with particular reference to experiments in which significant ion heating (as a means of achieving fusion temperatures) was observed. Mode conversion and parametric heating are examined as possible heating mechanisms.
