Good Agreement

AbstractMost treatments of lower hybrid waves include either electromagnetic or warm-plasma effects, but not both. Here we compare numerical dispersion curves for lower hybrid waves with a new analytic dispersion relation that includes both warm and electromagnetic effects. Very good agreement is obtained over significant ranges in wavenumber and plasma parameters, except where ion magnetization effects become important.

Lower Hybrid Waves

The stability of lower-hybrid waves in a collisional, fully ionized plasma carrying a field-aligned current is investigated. From the two-fluid equations in the cold-plasma approximation, a generalized dispersion relation and formulae for the real frequency ωI and growth rate ωR are derived. The results of a numerical study are presented showing the dependence of ωR and ωI on the angle between the direction of propagation and the magnetic field, the ratio of the electron drift velocity to the parallel phase velocity, and other plasma parameters. Lower-hybrid instability with electron drift velocity small compared with the parallel phase velocity is predicted.

Lower Hybrid Waves

Nonlinear excitation of electrostatic and magnetostatic zero-frequency modes by finite-amplitude lower-hybrid waves is considered. It is found that modulational instabilities can give rise to enhanced plasma vortices. Dispersion relations, as well as analytical expressions for the growth rates, are obtained. The enhanced vortices may cause anomalous cross-field diffusion which can affect plasma confinement in tokamak devices when lower-hybrid waves are used for plasma heating or current drive. We found that magnetic fluctuations associated with the parametrically driven magnetostatic mode are of particular importance in tokamak plasmas.
