On O-X mode conversion in a cold magnetized 2D inhomogeneous plasma in the electron cyclotron frequency range
In this paper a reduced set of the partial differential wave equations valid in the conversion layer close to O-mode cutoff surface and accounting for the magnetic field 2D inhomogeneity with no restriction to an angle between the toroidal direction and the magnetic field direction is derived. An integral representation of a solution to the derived set of equation is given. For the particular c...

Magnetically confined plasma can be heated with high power microwave sources. In spherical torus the electron plasma frequency exeeds the electron cyclotron frequency (EC) and, as a consequence, electromagnetic waves at fundamental and low harmonic EC cannot propagate within the plasma. In contrast, electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) readily propagate in spherical torus plasma and are absorbed str...
متن کاملThe preventive role of Snell’s law in mode conversion from Z- to whistler-mode waves in an inhomogeneous magnetoplasma with a low density
Electromagnetic waves with different modes, such as Z-, whistler-, LO- and RX- modes are found in different regions of the Earth magnetosphere and the magnetosphere of other planets. Since whistler-mode waves influence the behavior of the magnetosphere, and they are used as experimental tools to investigate the upper atmosphere, they are important. On the other hand, the mode conversion process...
متن کاملPsfc / Ja - 02 - 18 Symmetries in Dissipation - Free Linear Mode Conversion
Linear mode conversions (MC) in loss-free (LF) regions of an inhomogeneous, Vlasov plasma in a magnetic field are shown to obey certain symmetries [1]. These are illustrated and interpreted for situations relevant to plasma heating and/or current drive. INTRODUCTION Consider a one-dimensional (in x) generic propagation and MC situation in an inhomogeneous plasma, with unperturbed (equilibrium) ...
متن کاملInvestigation of ICRF mode conversion at the ion-ion hybrid layer in Alcator C-Mod
Mode conversion (MC) of long wavelength fast electromagnetic magnetosonic waves (fast wave, or FW) into shorter wavelength electrostatic (ion-Bernstein, or IBW) or slow electromagnetic (ion cyclotron, or ICW) waves is of great interest in laboratory, magnetic fusion and space physics experiments. Such processes are particularly important in multi-ion species plasmas. In this paper we report rec...
