Quasilinear theory of ion-cyclotron resonance heating of plasmas and associated longitudinal cooling

Creators

Description

It is shown from quasilinear theory that an initially isotropic magnetized plasma will be forced into an anisotropic state in ion-cyclotron resonance heating. Strong heating of perpendicular ion temperature and strong cooling of longitudinal temperature should occur simultaneously. The maximum temperature ratio predicted by quasilinear theory is in exact agreement with that predicted from basic thermodynamic arguments by Busnardo--Neto, Dawson, Kamimura and Lin. Heating by fast hydromagnetic wave is also examined
