摘要:
The theory of the rf plugging of a magnetically confined plasma in an open‐ended system is presented; it takes explicit account of the collective effect brought about by the dynamic screening action of the plasma. The theory predicts a maximum efficiency of the rf plugging at an optimum frequency corresponding to a zero of the longitudinal dielectric constant. The plugging efficiency is calculated as a function of the plasma density, the strength of the rf field, and the intensity of the magnetic field. These theoretical predictions are compared with experimetal observations, demonstrating satisfactory agreement in over‐all features. The results provide a useful scaling law associated with the concept of the rf confinement. The theory also offers an explanation for the discrepancy between the experimental values of the optimum frequency and those predicted by a conventional theory based on an individual‐particle model.
