Investigation of Fast Wave Beam-Plasma Interactions.
Abstract
A program of work is described in which both electrostatic and electromagnetic wave amplifying mechanisms have been investigated. For the former, studies in the absence of a magnetic field were directed towards verifying the theory for beam/surface wave amplification. For the latter, two distinctly different lines were followed for interaction in the presence of a static magnetic field. The first of these was a theoretical and experimental examination of electrostatic cyclotron harmonic wave interaction. The second was a study of 'whistler' wave propagation and the potentialities for electromagnetic wave growth in this mode. (Author)
