A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE VALIDITY OF THE BORN APPROXIMATION FOR DETERMINATION OF THE REFLECTION COEFFICIENTS OF UNDERDENSE PLASMA SLABS

Abstract

The validity of the Born approximation for determination of the reflection coefficients of plasma slabs is numerically examined for two cases: the uniform underdense plasma slab and a plasma slab with a sunusodial electron density perturbation superimposed on a constant electron density. The regions of validity of the Born approximation are discussed in each case.
