TITLE- Magnetoacoustic resonance in strong magnetic fields

TEXT: The authors put aside the previous limiting
condition W 2 )d in
0 a
order to study the possibility of the occurrence of
resonance phenomena
of the magnetoacoustic type in a plasma with a
concentration variable in
time. They study the case where the plasma frequency is
of the same
order as, or less than, the electron cyclotron frequency.
Here, W e
denotes the electron cyclotron frequency. This case
occurs either in a
rarefied plasma (low plasma frequency) or in very strong
magnetic fields
(high cyclotron frequency). A plasma with a cyclotron
frequency higher
than collision frequency is said to be magnetized (with
regard to
collisions). If the cyclotron frequency is higher than
the plasma
frequenoyg the electrostatic oscillations will be
magnetized. Such a

plasma shows oscillatory magnetization. Then, the ratio 110
0- 4 'me
is about the same as the ratio of electron rest energy to
magnetic energy.
Thus, a plasma with magnetic energy higher than the
electron rest energy
will undergo oscillatory magnetization. In a rarefied
plasma, the
resonance frequency of magnetic sound will, with a purely
radial
propagation, approach the loWbr hybrid frequency. The
following general
expression for the lower hybrid frequency is derived:

frequency is

proportional to the plasma frequency. At a given magnetic
field strength
(we U const) the resonance frequency of magnetic sound
decreases with
increasing concentration in a dense plasma and increases in a
rarefied one.
In between, it should pass through a maximum. If the maximum
is flat
enough, resonance may occur over a wide range of
