Theory of ICR heating of a plasma column: methodological note

The wave equations systems, describing the electromagnetic oscillations of the plasma column with the frequency of the order of the ion cyclotron one at the electrons arbitrary temperature, is obtained. This system accounts, in particular, for the electrons resonance interaction with the oscillations in the mode of the Transit Time Magnetic Pumping. The effect of the plasma amplification of the electromagnetic fields, excited by the current antennas, is analyzed. The fields evolution with the plasma density growth, beginning with the zero ones the vacuum, is considered. The main characteristics of the plasma ICR-heating process are determined through the small addition method in the designed facilities
