Nonlinear enhancement of second-harmonic cyclotron damping

  • 1. General Atomic Company, San Diego, California 92138

Description

It is shown that the cyclotron damping rate of the second harmonic is enhanced relative to the linear rate by a nonlinear resonances resulting from the finite wavelength of the pump wave. Applications to ion and electron cyclotron-resonance-frequency heating are considered
