  • 1. Physics Department, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90024

Description

A simple model is presented that yields analytical expressions for the heating efficiency of beat-wave excitation in a plasma with a linear density profile. The effect of self-consistent Landau damping by tail electrons is included without recourse to WKB approximations
