Stabilization of a Plasma by High-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

Abstract

A survey is given of studies of the possibility of suppressing hydrodynamic and kinetic Instabilities In a magnetized plasma by means of high frequency electromagnetic fields. Results are given for experiments carried out at the Sukhumi Physico- Technical Institute in which the possibilities of suppressing a flute hydrodynamic instability, and a drift-type microinstability by high-frequency fields were studied. The problems of the interaction of large-amplitude high-frequency fields in the region of the skin layer are discussed. Results of a study of the plasma-column equilibrium In a torus in the presence of helical high-frequency electromagnetic fields of the quadrupole type are also given.
