Description

Wave magnetic field and Ar II optical emission measurements correlated with the wave phase are used to analyze thermal and fast electron processes in a helicon plasma source. It is found that under appropriate conditions, significant wave-correlated contributions to the fast electron distribution occur in helicon source operation
