Studies of Plasma Instability Processes Excited by Ground-Based High Power HF (Heating) Facilities

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute as follows: The contractor will conduct an interactive test of theory and data to quantitatively compare the Gurevich theoretical calculations driven by measured input boundary conditions to existing data. They will design and implement experiments to iterate comparison of refined experiment to refined theory. They will collect an initial set of data at Arecibo theory. The theory, the incoherent scatter radar data, and supporting observations will be used to pursue electron acceleration mechanisms. The deliverables will be the feasibility study and a final report detailing at the findings.
