Abstract

Electromagnetic fluctuations, induced by energetic charged particles, are calculated using correlation techniques for a uniform magnetized plasma. Power emission in the ion-cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) is calculated for a specific model of velocity distribution function. The emissive spectra are distinct from that of the black-body radiation and have features that are consistent with experimental observation.
