Investigation of Fast Wave Beam/Plasma Interactions.
Abstract
The report describes a program of work in which both electrostatic and electromagnetic wave amplifying mechanisms are under investigation. For the former, studies in the absence of a static magnetic field are directed towards verifying the theory for beam/surface wave amplification. Two distinctly different lines are being followed for interactions in the presence of a static magnetic field: Electrostatic cyclotron harmonic wave interaction is being examined, both theoretically and experimentally, and the potentialities of electromagnetic wave growth in the 'whistler' mode are being investigated.
