Nonlinear Enhancement of Second-Harmonic Cyclotron Damping

Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

It is shown that the cyclotron damping rate of the second harmonic is enhanced relative to the linear rate by a nonlinear resonance resulting from the finite wavelength of the pump wave. Applications to ion and electron cyclotron-resonance-frequency heating are considered.
