Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Attenuation in Magnetoplasmas.

Abstract

The AFOSR grant has been used to support primarily a Ph.D student, Daniel T. Moriarty for research on EM wave propagation and interaction with the magnetized plasmas generated in the Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF). The VTF has been used to investigate ionospheric plasma turbulence and cross-checking the plasma heating experiments at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. We have successfully reproduced our Arecibo experimental results with VTF. We have developed a theory to explain the generation of frequency upshifted plasma modes.
