Quasi-linear theory of cherenkov heating of electrons in an inhomogeneous plasma

The authors investigate, in the quasi-linear approximation, the Cherenkov absorption by plasma electrons of the energy of an electromagnetic field created by external sources. The plasma is in the form of a cylinder of non-uniform radius located in a longitudinal magnetic field and the external sources are specific azimuthal currents flowing in coils surrounding the plasma cylinder. It is assumed that the magnetic pressure significantly exceeds the gas-kinetic pressure of the plasma, that the Larmor radius of the plasma panicles is small compared with the distances within which the plasma density and the electromagnetic field change substantially, that the frequency of the field is significantly less than the electron gyrofrequency, and that the phase velocity is significantly greater than the thermal velocity of the ions, so that thermal motion of the ions can be ignored.An equation is derived for the diffusion of electrons in velocity space. From this equation it follows that the electron distribution along the velocity component perpendicular to the magnetic field does not change with time and that a plateau is formed on the curve characterizing the dependence of the distribution function on the longitudinal velocity component. The rate of formation of the plateau is different for different values of the velocity component perpendicular to the magnetic field.In the case of narrow wave packets a diffusion equation is obtained taking Coulomb collisions into account. The slope is found of the curve characterizing the dependence of the background distribution function on the longitudinal velocity component in the steady state, where diffusion on the waves is balanced by collisions.With narrow wave packets, if the frequency of the external currents coincides with that of the natural oscillations of the plasma cylinder (for a given wave vector value), saturation is reached in the absorption of electromagnetic field energy and, if the amplitudes of the external currents are fairly large, further amplitude increases do not lead to an increase in the absorbed power.If, however, the external current spectrum contains wave vectors corresponding to the natural oscillations of the plasma cylinder, the formation of a plateau does not lead to absorption saturation (the absorbed power remains proportional to the square of the external current amplitude).

著者らは、準線形近似において、外部源によって生成された電磁場のエネルギーに対するプラズマ電子によるチェレンコフ吸収を調査する。プラズマは、縦磁場中に置かれた半径が一様でない円柱の形をしており、外部源は、プラズマ円柱を取り巻くコイルを流れる特定の方位角電流である。磁気圧がプラズマの気体動圧を有意に上回り、プラズマ粒子のラーモア半径がプラズマ密度および電磁場が大きく変化する距離と比較して小さく、場の周波数が電子ジャイロ周波数より有意に小さく、位相速度がイオンの熱速度より有意に大きいため、イオンの熱運動は無視できると仮定される。 速度空間における電子の拡散に対する方程式が導出される。この方程式から、磁場に垂直な速度成分に沿った電子分布は時間とともに変化せず、分布関数の縦方向速度成分への依存性を特徴付ける曲線上にプラトーが形成されることが帰結される。プラトー形成の速度は、磁場に垂直な速度成分の値によって異なる。 狭い波束の場合、クーロン衝突を考慮した拡散方程式が得られる。波上の拡散が衝突によって釣り合う定常状態において、背景分布関数の縦方向速度成分への依存性を特徴付ける曲線の傾きが見出される。 狭い波束の場合、外部電流の周波数が(与えられた波数ベクトル値に対して)プラズマ円柱の固有振動の周波数と一致すると、電磁場エネルギーの吸収において飽和が達成されれ、外部電流の振幅がかたり大きい場合、振幅をさらに増加させても吸収電力の増加にはつながらない。 しかしながら、外部電流スペクトルがプラズマ円柱の固有振動に対応する波数ベクトルを含む場合、プラトーの形成は吸収の飽和をもたらさない(吸収電力は外部電流振幅の二乗に比例したままである)。
