Axial compression of the astron E-layer during neutralization

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

It is shown that, despite processes that tend to elongate the astron E-layer as it is built up by injecting successive pulses of electrons, in a good vacuum this tendency is overcome by the slow turn-on of focusing forces that compress the E layer as it slowly neutralizes.
