Description

Recently it was found that a magnetized plasma can be made transparent to a right-hand polarized cyclotron frequency resonant wave in the presence of a strong pump or a helical magnetic wiggler. Theory predicts and simulations verify that the group velocity of the probe is slow, and the phase velocity of the longitudinal wave controllable. These properties of the system suggest the possibility of its being used as an advanced accelerator of heavy particles. We present the theory and simulations of transparency and a preliminary study of its application as an accelerator
