Damping of the fast wave and plasma heating by an unidentified mechanism
Abstract
Wave damping and plasma heating were observed for the fast (right-hand polarized) wave at a frequency below the second harmonic of the ion cyclotron frequency (omega sub i) in a dense hydrogen plasma (n 10 to the 20th power/cu m) in a mirror geometry. The wave was also observed to damp at the second harmonic.
