Total linear mode conversion for confluence at nonzero k

  • 1. Ecole Royale Militaire, Brussels (Belgium). Lab. de Physique des Plasmas

Description

Using the asymptotic theory of nth order linear differential systems with slowly varying coefficients, it is shown quite generally that a confluent wave mode must undergo total conversion (no reflection via its branch of opposite sign) to the modes with which it is confluent in k (not k2), this holding asymptotically for any confluence at a nonzero value of k. The conversion which takes place around the lower hybrid resonance density is dealt with by way of example
