Influence of an upper-hybrid pump on temperature relaxation processes in a magnetized plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2008
Abstract
By means of kinetic fluctuation theory, the relaxation process between the electron and ion temperatures in a magnetized homogeneous plasma is considered. The cases when the external upper-hybrid pump wave excites modified convective cells and ion-acoustic waves are analysed. The inverse relaxation time in the regime where the turbulent fluctuations are developed is calculated for these cases and its dependence on the pump wave and plasma parameters is deduced.
