A new approximation of electron-cyclotron-maser frequencies
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new approximation for the frequencies where electron-cyclotron-maser is produced by a loss-cone distribution. This approximation is fully relativistic, and is good also for masering frequencies far from the cyclotron harmonics.

A New Approximation Of ECM Frequencies
We investigate wave amplification through the Electron Cyclotron Maser mechanism. We derive a semianalytic approximation formula giving the frequencies at which the absorption coefficient is negative. The coefficients still need to be computed to obtain the largest, and therefore the dominant, coefficient.
متن کاملCyclotron Maser Emission from Blazar Jets?
We consider the production of electron cyclotron maser emission by lowdensity, highly magnetized plasmas in relativistic jets. The population inversion required to drive cyclotron maser instability could occur in localized, transient sites where hydromagnetic instabilities, shocks, and/or turbulence lead to magnetic mirroring along current-carrying flux tubes. The maser is pumped by the convers...
متن کاملCyclotron-resonance maser in a magnetic mirror.
A cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM) experiment is performed in a high-gradient magnetic field using a low-energy electron beam ( approximately 10 keV/1 A). The magnetic field exceeds 1.63 T, which corresponds to a 45-GHz cyclotron frequency. The CRM radiation output is observed in much lower frequencies, between 6.6 and 20 GHz only. This discrepancy is explained by the finite penetration depth of...
متن کاملCyclotron-resonance maser in a periodically loaded quadrupole transmission line.
A cyclotron-resonance maser (CRM) is implemented in a periodic quadrupole waveguide. The device oscillates at the fundamental and high harmonics of the cyclotron frequency. This CRM employs a tenuous low-energy electron beam ( approximately 10 keV, 0.2 A). The periodic structure consists of an array of disks along the quadrupole transmission line, hence it combines both azimuthal and axial peri...
متن کاملSaturation of electron cyclotron maser by lower-hybrid waves
We perform a numerical study on the quasilinear relaxation of an electron cyclotron maser on the initially dominant mode. We focus thereby on a situation where the initially dominant modes are quasi-electrostatic lower hybrid (lh) waves, which have not been treated in preceding studies. To this end, we chose 0.2 ≤ ωp/ωBe < 0.5 (ωp: plasma-, ωBe: electron cyclotron frequency) and an initial loss...
