ION-CYCLOTRON HIGHER HARMONICS INSTABILITY WITH PERPENDICULAR A.C. ELECTRIC FIELD IN ENERGETIC PLASMAS

Аннотация

This study investigates the Ion-Cyclotron Higher Harmonics Instability (ICHHI) in the presence of a perpendicular alternating current (A.C.) electric field in energetic plasmas. The interaction between charged particles and electromagnetic fields in plasmas is of paramount importance in understanding astrophysical phenomena and laboratory plasma devices. The research examines the influence of the perpendicular A.C. electric field on the development and behavior of ICHHI, a collective instability that arises due to the non-linear interaction between ions and electromagnetic waves. The findings shed light on the role of the perpendicular A.C. electric field in modifying the growth rate and spectral characteristics of ICHHI, offering insights into the fundamental processes governing the stability of energetic plasmas.
