Abstract:An experimental technique is developed to measure the modification of an electric field in a turbulent plasma. The method is suitable for use up to near critical density of the plasma. Measurements have been performed under three plasma conditions, namely, underdense, intermediate density, and near critical density. The results show more rapid attenuation of the coherent wave than predicted by exponential decrease, which is attributed to refraction in our nonuniform plasma column. The data indicate an initial … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
