ON THE APPLICATION OF PLASMA KINETIC THEORY TO IONIC SOUND-WAVE EXPERIMENTS IN MAGNETIC FIELDS
Keyword(s):
The Mean
◽
The kinetic theoretical results for a homogeneous plasma in a uniform magnetic field are discussed qualitatively. The role of the mean cyclotron radius as a natural long-range cutoff is clarified. A relationship between a critical frequency for ionic sound waves and the magnetic-field intensity is predicted.
