INVESTIGATIONS OF HIGH-POWER BEAM PLASMA INTERACTIONS
Abstract
This research is directed toward the investigation of high-power beam plasma interactions, with specific investigation of the transverse velocity beam modes called for. A system for measuring the transverse energy of an electron beam through its diamagnetism has been developed and used to measure the transverse energy of a beam injected across magnetic field lines. In investigations of the noise emission from a transverse energy beam, discrete noise peaks, which shifted toward higher frequencies when a neutral gas was allowed to enter the vacuum chamber, occurred at the electron-cyclotron frequency and its first three harmonics. Experiments in helium indicate that the emission may be described by a hybrid frequency relationship. Analysis of the data from beam plasma interaction experiments has indicated the possible existence of a transverse energy beam mode on our experiments.
