A Large Quiescent Magnetized Plasma for Wave Studies,
Abstract
The development of a large magnetized plasma for wave propagation experiments is described. The method employs a dc discharge in a weak magnetic field region and subsequent particle diffusion into a strong uniform B-field region. Plasma diagnostics with probes, microwaves and spectroscopy for steady state and afterglow are described. Examples of wave propagation for ion acoustic waves, electron Bernstein waves and lower hybrid waves indicate the versatibility of the device.
