TRANSMISSION AND ABSORPTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES IN A COLLISIONLESS PLASMA SLAB.

Abstract

An investigation is made of the propagation of electromagnetic waves normal to a plasma slab having a density grandient. The plane of polarization of waves is perpendicular to an external magnetic field. At resonances, a WKB-type approximation does not represent waves and an appreciable absorption appears due to infinitesimal collisions: so called the resonance absorption. The transmission and absorption coefficients are obtained in the limit of no collisions when in the slab the cut off is adjacent to the resonance. (Author)
