Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating of Tandem Mirrors at Relativistic Energies.

Abstract

Successful operation of a tandem mirror fusion reactor is critically dependent on electron cyclotron resonance heating. We find that for proof-of-principle parameters, this frequency is more than a factor of two lower than the nonrelativistic cyclotron frequency. Presently available sources can provide relatively high power at this frequency. (Author)
