High Frequency Properties Of Plasma | K. D. Sinel’nikov ( Ed.)

These articles present the results derived from theoretical and experimental investigations of high frequency plasma properties: the methods of high fre­ quency plasma heating, propagation of electromagnetic

waves in a magnetoactive plasma, thermal radiation of

a plasma, and development of instabilities when employing high frequency methods of plasma heating. A description is provided of experimental equipment developed for high frequency heating and containment of a plasma.

This collection is designed for scientific researchers and engineers dealing with the problems of a plasma and its technical application, as well as for students and graduate students in the physics departments of universi­ties and physical-technical institutes.
