An investigation of the composition of a hydrogen plasma using magnetoacoustic oscillations
Abstract
This paper reports on the use of observations of magnetoacoustic oscillations to determine the radial particle density and temperature profiles in a hydrogen plasma. The observations comprise measurements, at a number of frequencies, of the radial variations of the oscillation amplitude and of the total flux in the plasma. The analysis allows the determination of radial profiles of the ion and atom number densities.
