A DIAGNOSTIC THEORY FOR CYLINDRICAL PLASMAS BASED ON THE BORN APPROXIMATION,

Abstract

The inverse scattering problem for a plane, axially polarized, electromagnetic wave incident upon a cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous medium is solved under the Born approximation. The medium is characterized by its 'profile' defined by the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation. The diagnostic procedures determine the dependence of collision and plasma frequency on radial position in the plasma cylinder.
