Ion acceleration by beating electrostatic waves: domain of allowed acceleration.
The conditions under which a magnetized ion can be accelerated through a nonlinear interaction with a pair of beating electrostatic waves are explored. It has been shown [Benisti et al., Phys. Plasma 5, 3224 (1998)] that the electric field of the beating waves can, under some conditions, accelerate ions from arbitrarily low initial velocity in stark contrast with the well-known nonlinear thresh...

متن کاملInteraction of Ions with a Spectrum of Electrostatic Waves
A single electrostatic, lower-hybrid wave, propagating across a magnetic eld,can energize ions only if the ion dynamics becomes chaotic [1]. We show that low energy ions, which would not gain energy from a single wave, can gain energy from two or more waves provided the wavelengths and frequencies are chosen appropriately. An appropriate choice can also lead to an extraction of ion energy by th...
متن کاملElectrostatic probe disruption of drift waves in magnetized microdischarges
Ultrahigh speed images of E B discharges are collected during electrostatic probing of magnetized microdischarges. Two azimuthally separated floating micro-Langmuir probes inserted into an axisymmetric microscale magnetically confined plasma are used to characterize azimuthal drift waves. The images reveal features associated with probe intrusion, showing how the electrostatic probes may disrup...
متن کاملIon Dynamics in Multiple Electrostatic Waves in a Magnetized Plasma
A general theoretical study of the dynamics of ions interacting with multiple elec-trostatic waves, propagating perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field, is performed. For appropriately chosen frequencies and wavenumbers we discover a new nonlinear phenomenon of coherent acceleration (or deceleration) which energizes (or extracts energy from) ions. Ions whose initial energies are below the l...
