INVESTIGATION ON THE POSSIBILITY OF DETERMINING PLASMA PARAMETERS BY THE METHOD OF LOW-FREQUENCY DIAGNOSTICS

A possibility of determining some parameters (density, collision rate, magnetic field strength, mass-and-ion charge) of the plasma being in a magnetic field is under consideration. Peculiarities in the change of probing wave refraction and absorption values depending on the plasma parameters are investigated. Appreciation is made of the possibility for plasma diagnostics by means of probing using low-frequency electromagnetic waves with frequencies of ion-cyclotron range.
