Abstract

The influence of a steady axial magnetic field on the anomalous penetration of low frequency electromagnetic fields into a cylindrical plasma column is investigated by considering a plasma with a Gaussian electron density distribution. For this model, a complete solution is obtained for Boltzmann's equation coupled to Maxwell's equations, and the fields calculated exactly. The results show dramatic changes of the internal fields for small changes of the applied magnetic field when the average Lamour radius of the electrons is of the order of the plasma radius.
