Hot electron production, anomalous absorption, and effect of intense electromagnetic fields on inverse bremsstrahlung absorption near the electron plasma frequency
Abstract
Anomalous heating was studied on a well-controlled low-density plasma subjected to short microwave pulses. Absorption measurements along with parametric instabilities are described. The influence of intense ac electric fields on the electron-ion collision rate in the plasma is also discussed.
