In GAMMA 10/PDX, ion heating is achieved using slow wave in the cyclotron frequency absorbed near resonance layer. However, high-density plasma, less likely to be excited due shielding effect. To overcome this challenge, researchers have investigated difference (DF) waves by nonlinear interaction of fast been investigated. The can propagate core plasma even making DF-waves an efficient option f...

-&-Fast wave heating at the second, third and fourth harmonics of the ion cyclotron resonance, and slow wave heating at the fundamental in a single ion species hydrogen plasma, are found to be in gQod agreement with warm plasma theory at rf power levels 5130 kW. Ion heating is negligible off an eigenmode. Ion body temperatures are more than doubled to 75 eV from the 35 eV ohmically heated case ...

Shock heating and particle acceleration processes are some of the most fundamental physical phenomena of plasma physics with countless applications in laboratory physics, space physics, and astrophysics. This study is motivated by previous observations of non-thermal heating of heavy ions in astrophysical shocks (Korreck et al. 2004). Here, we focus on shocks driven by Interplanetary Coronal Ma...

Highly charged dust particles in a plasma can be strongly coupled when their kinetic temperature is low. This temperature is determined by a balance of heating and gas cooling. The heating is believed to be electrostatic, although its exact nature is still under investigation. Experiments in a multiple-layer plasma crystal were conducted to test proposed heating mechanisms. A method for measuri...
