Absorption of magnetoacoustic waves in a high beta plasma
Description
The radial propagation and absorption of magnetoacoustic waves (m = 0, kz z= 0) in a radially inhomogeneous, high beta plasma column of a theta pinch is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown, that viscosity is the dominant dissipative mechanism. Power absorption up to 10 MW is obtained, which corresponds to an average heating rate of 5 eV/μsec per particle. (orig.)
