Abstract

The original goal of the research reported here was to use "turbulent heating" to obtain a hotter plasma so that the damping of the fast wave at 2. fi would be enhanced. The advantages and the disadvantages of this plasma source are described in Ch. II along with the experimental arrangement. After much trial and error, the repeatability was finally improved by careful pre-ionization of the plasma.
