Ion cyclotron resonance heating in the magnetized sheet plasma is studied experimentally in a linear plasma device, TPD-SheetIV. We have demonstrated the ICRH of the helium or helium/hydrogen mixture sheet plasma by the RF electrodes of two parallel plates, sandwiching the sheet plasma. Measurements of the ion temperature in the plasma were carried out by a Faraday cup. In addition, the ion den...

Ion cyclotron resonance is one of the fundamental energy conversion processes through field-particle interaction in collisionless plasmas. However, key evidence for ion (i.e., coherence between electromagnetic fields and phase space density) resulting damping waves (ICWs) has not yet been directly observed. Investigating high-quality measurements plasmas by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satel...

The sawtooth control mechanism in plasmas employing off-axis toroidally propagating ion cyclotron resonance waves in tokamaks is reinvestigated. The radial drift excursion of energetic passing ions distributed asymmetrically in the velocity parallel to the magnetic field determines stability when the rational q=1 surface resides within a narrow region centered about the shifted fundamental cycl...

We have systematically established the excitation frequency, amplitude, duration, and buffer gas pressure for optimal axialization efficiency and mass selectivity of quadrupolar excitation-collisional cooling for isolation of parent ions for collision-induced dissociation in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. For example, at high quadrupolar excitation amplitude, ion a...
