Cross-field ion acoustic instability and turbulence in a weakly magnetized plasma

  • 1. Natal Univ., Durban (South Africa). Inst. of Plasma Physics Research

Description

In a discharge plasma with a weak axial magnetic field the plasma conditions can be appropriate for the generation of the cross-field ion acoustic instability by azimuthally drifting electrons. This is observed either as a single mode near the lower hybrid frequency or as broadband turbulence up to the ion plasma frequency. (author) 5 refs., 5 figs
