Stopping of ion beam in a temperature anisotropic magnetized plasma

Abstract Using the dielectric theory for a weakly coupled plasma we investigate the stopping power of the ion in a temperature anisotropic magnetized electron plasma. The analysis is based on the assumption that the energy variation of the ion is much less than its kinetic energy. The obtained general expression for stopping power is analyzed for weak and strong magnetic fields (i.e., for the e...

Exponential frequency spectrum and Lorentzian pulses in magnetized plasmas

Two different experiments involving pressure gradients across the confinement magnetic field in a large plasma column are found to exhibit a broadband turbulence that displays an exponential frequency spectrum for frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency. The exponential feature has been traced to the presence of solitary pulses having a Lorentzian temporal signature. These pulses arise fr...

Chaoticity threshold in magnetized plasmas Transition from order to chaos, and density limit, in magnetized plasmas

It is known that a plasma in a magnetic field, conceived microscopically as a system of point charges, can exist in a magnetized state, and thus remain confined, inasmuch as it is in an ordered state of motion, with the charged particles performing gyrational motions transverse to the field. Here we give an estimate of a threshold, beyond which transverse motions become chaotic, the electrons b...
