Efficient Plasma Heating by Radiofrequency
Marco Frasca
Abstract
We propose an efficient mechanism to heat a plasma by an intense microwave field solving the equation of ion motion in a wave field and a constant magnetic field in a large coupling regime. The mechanism does not relies explicitly on stochastic motion and is able to increase the ion velocity by several magnitude orders. Known thresholds for the onset of stochastic motion are also obtained.
