Transverse electromagnetic modes in a hot cylindrical plasma column
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Extract
We derive the dielectric tensor of a hot plasma by including the smallgyroradius corrections up to the first harmonic (ω ≈ 2ωcα). We show that these corrections introduce radial wavenumbers associated with transverse electromagnetic modes (TEM). The special case of a cylindrical plasma column is discussed for a hydrogen plasma at the ion-cyclotron frequency and for an electron plasma at the electron-cyclotron frequency and its first harmonic.
