TG wave autoresonant control of plasma temperature

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0354 (United States)

Description

The thermal correction term in the Trivelpiece-Gould (TG) wave's frequency has been used to accurately control the temperature of electron plasma, by applying a swept-frequency continuous drive autoresonantly locked in balance with the cyclotron cooling. The electron temperature can be either "pegged" at a desired value (by constant drive frequency); or varied cyclically (following the tailored frequency course), with rates limited by the cooling time (on the way down) and by chosen drive amplitude (on the way up)
