Theory of slow waves in the wave-guides with a transverse inhomogeneous plasma

One elaborated upon a method of numerical analysis of spectra of slow body, body-surface and surface waves in a waveguide with a transverse inhomogeneous plasma. One analyzed peculiar features of slow wave spectra both in the absence of the external magnetic field and within the limit of infinitely strong field. In case of a smooth profile of plasma density the frequency spectrum of long surface waves remains unchanged, and yet a small decrement of damping resulting from conversion of the mentioned waves into space plasma oscillations in the point of plasma resonance shows up
