Electron Plasmas Cooled by Cyclotron-Cavity Resonance.

چکیده
We observe that high-Q electromagnetic cavity resonances increase the cyclotron cooling rate of pure electron plasmas held in a Penning-Malmberg trap when the electron cyclotron frequency, controlled by tuning the magnetic field, matches the frequency of standing wave modes in the cavity. For certain modes and trapping configurations, this can increase the cooling rate by factors of 10 or more. In this Letter, we investigate the variation of the cooling rate and equilibrium plasma temperatures over a wide range of parameters, including the plasma density, plasma position, electron number, and magnetic field.

Low magnetic field cooling of lepton plasmas via cyclotron-cavity resonance
Pure electron or pure positron plasmas held in magnetic fields B radiate energy because of the cyclotron motion of the plasma particles; nominally, the plasmas should cool to the often cryogenic temperatures of the trap in which they are confined. However, the cyclotron cooling rate for leptons is (1/4 s)(B/1 T), and significant cooling is not normally observed unless B 1 T. Cooling to the trap...
متن کاملPsfc/ja-01-36 Electron Bernstein Waves in Spherical Tokamaks
In the electron cyclotron range of frequencies, the high-β NSTX plasmas are overdense to the traditional extraordinary X mode and/or the ordinary O mode. For low harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency, the X and O modes are cutoff at the edge and for high harmonics the plasma is essentially optically thin to these modes. Thus, heating of such plasmas by electron cyclotron waves or diagno...

A theoretical study of parametric processes near the electron cyclotron resonance region in tokamak plasmas is presented. Parametric dispersion relations, including finite wave length of the driver pump, of principal and harmonic parametric excitations, are given. The problem of primary and secondary decays including their temporal and spatial growth rates is studied. In the nonlinear phase of ...

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...
