説明

<jats:p>Recent discoveries in a helicon plasma show a decrease in equilibrium plasma density as magnetic field strength is increased. This can be explained in the framework of a low frequency electrostatic instability. However, quiescent plasma behavior in helicon sources has been hitherto accepted. To verify the existence of an instability, extensive measurements of fluctuating quantities and losses as a function of magnetic field were implemented. Furthermore, a theoretical model was developed to compare to the measurements. Theory and measurement show very good agreement; both verifying the existence of a low frequency instability and showing that it is indeed responsible for the observed density characteristic.</jats:p>
