Whistler Emission by Electron Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental and theoretical investigation of whistler waves produced in the interaction of a density modulated electron beam with a magnetized plasma are presented for the conditions of active space experiments in the Earth ionosphere as well as for the case of overdense laboratory plasmas. Structures of the electromagnetic fields far and near the beam, efficiency of the beam modulation, emitted power are examined as well as conditions for an undistorted registration of the whistler signals by remote receivers in space.

Free Electron Laser Operation in the Whistler Mode
The introduction of a strongly magnetized plasma in the inner region of a Free Electron Laser opens up the possibility of generating coherent radiation in the slow whistler mode using mildly relativistic electron beams. The frequency of emission, however, is limited to below the electron cyclotron frequency. The efficiency of the device can be enhanced by tapering the guide magnetic field.
متن کاملNonlinear electron magnetohydrodynamics physics. III. Electron energization
Wave-particle interactions of low-frequency whistler modes with wave magnetic fields exceeding the ambient field are investigated experimentally. These highly nonlinear modes are excited with magnetic loop antennas in a large magnetized afterglow plasma. While the nonlinear wave properties are described elsewhere, the present paper focuses on the modification of the electron distribution functi...
متن کاملAngle Diffusion Due to Electron - Whistler Interactions during Disturbed Times
During periods of increased magnetospheric activity , whistler wave emissions have been observed with increased wave amplitudes. We consider a pitch angle diffusion mechanism that is shown to scale with whistler wave amplitude and hence is 'switched on' during these periods of intense activity. We consider the interaction between relativistic electrons and two oppositely directed, parallel prop...

متن کاملWhistler Waves Emitted by a Thin Modulated Electron Beam
The theory of whistler wave interaction with a modulated electron beam of finite radius, injected parallel to the magnetic field in an unbounded space plasma is considered The study is done in the case of sheared whistlers interacting with the thin beam, when the parallel wave number is very small compared to the perpendicular one. The electromagnetic fields inside and outside the beam are dete...
