Electron cyclotron resonance near the axis of a quadrupole linear trap / I.A. Kotelnikov, M. Romé. - In: PHYSICS OF PLASMAS. - ISSN 1070-664X. - 19:12(2012), pp. 122509.1-122509.6.
Abstract:
The quasi-longitudinal propagation of an extraordinary electromagnetic wave in the vicinity of the electron cyclotron resonance layer in an open linear trap with a quadrupole magnetic field is studied analytically, taking into account the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field in a paraxial approximation. The ray trajectories are derived from a simplified dispersion equation, that is, nonetheless able to accurately describe the transition from finite to zero perpendicular refractive index. A criterion for an on-axis resonance point to be an attractor for the ray trajectories is formulated, which generalizes a similar criterion for axisymmetric linear traps derived in a recent paper [D. S. Bagulov and I. A. Kotelnikov, Phys. Plasmas 19, 082502 (2012)].
