Wave scattering processes in a plasma with ion temperature anisotropy

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: The scattering of electromagnetic waves by density fluctuations in a magnetized plasma in the presence of an external pump field is investigated. The pump wave is supposed to decay into a lower-hybrid and an ion-cyclotron wave in a plasma with ion-temperature anisotropy. The cross-section obtained for the scattering of electromagnetic waves by turbulent fluctuations above threshold for the decay processes is found to be comparitively sensitive to the ion temperature anisotropy.
