“…Experiments on the heating of plasmas by MW sources based on the ECR have proved the efficiency of this method for generating plasmas with densities up to 10 12 -10 14 cm −3 . If the plasma is confined in a trap by a mirror magnetic field, hot electrons are generated in the central plane of the trap [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. These experiments were done for a thermonuclear plasma.…”

The motion of charged particles in the field of H-waves of a cylindrical and a rectangular waveguide in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is investigated analytically and numerically. We obtain the equations of charged particle motion in the H-wave field under cyclotron resonance conditions, evaluate the width of nonlinear resonances, and establish the criterion for dynamical chaos emergence. The criterion is used to analyse the possibility of stochastic acceleration of charged particles by the field of H-waves of circular and rectangular waveguides in the external magnetic field for x-ray production. The stochastic acceleration of particles in two and three standing waves of a circular resonator and two counter-propagating waves of a rectangular waveguide are investigated. It is shown that, over the course of several hundreds of periods of the microwave field, the kinetic energy of the electrons reaches values of around 1.0 MeV and the average kinetic energy reaches values of the order of 0.3 MeV.

“…This loss rate could be used to estimate the appropriate loss rate in Eq. (13). However, the two-dimensional nature of the problem in the low w range suggests that a two-dimensional formulation of the problem would be appropriate.…”

“…(9): S•K·n .V (12) The FAD has an output for each beam component; full, half and third energy, and each channel is calibrated separately. Equation (12) is then solved in each case for the calibration constant, K, which contains the desired calibration information: Kl = 2.88 x 10-16 volt -sec/ion (full energy) K2 = 6.85 x 10-17 (1/2 energy) KJ = 1.93 x [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (1/3 energy).…”
