Description
The radio frequency absorption near the lower hybrid resonance of an inhomogeneous plasma has been studied using Langmuir and magnetic probes and also a Faraday cup. The plasma was confined in the mirror linear device LISA, excited by a 28 MHz RF source. It has been shown that the absorption rate and the resonance region in space depends on the resonant volume created by the external magnetic field. Due to the collisional damping, the quality factor of the machine is comparable to a low-Q cavity resonator. (orig.)
