Pump fluctuation effects on parametric instabilities in plasmas

  • 1. Michigan Univ., Ann Arbor (USA). Dept. of Nuclear Engineering

Description

The effect of stochastic pumps on the parametric instabilities, including the pump band-width effect, the effect of the frequency mismatch and of the plasma temperature fluctuations that are induced by the fluctuations in the pump itself. The threshold for instability can initially decrease with increasing pump band-width and reach a minimum when these effects are included. (author)
