Ion beam expansion due to ion cyclotron wave interactions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
We observe radial expansion of an ion beam propagating along a homogeneous guide magnetic field. The beam spreading appears to arise from interactions with beam-excited resonant ion cyclotron waves. Magnitude and scaling of the expansion agree with a theory based on a resonant diffusion process.
