TITLE- Magnetoacoustic resonance in strong magnetic fields PERIODICAL: Zhurnal ekeperimentallnoy i teoreticheekoy 'A'iziki, v. 41, no. 2(8), 1961, 588-591 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 Card 1/5 MOZ S/056/61/041/002/024/028 Magnetoacoustic resonance in strong... B125/B138 2/W2 nr 2/H2 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: 2 W 2 0 W + we h 1 2 + 0 The approximate formula derived by D. A. Frank-Kamenetskiy (ZhETF, 669, 1960) holds for 2>* LO Q .

B125/B138 frequency reads w2~, 2 o,/Oe (2). Here, the lower hybrid frequency is h WO 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 concentrations.
