Propagation of a large-amplitude surface wave in a plasma column sustained by the wave

Description

The axial electron number density distribution of a plasma produced by a rf surface wave launcher has been found theoretically. The results obtained are expressed in the form of universal curves which are applicable to a wide range of experimental conditions (wave frequency, collision frequency, tube radius). The theory agrees well with the available experimental data
