Experiments designed to study the production of a steady-state plasma column by microwave cavity means are described. At low plasma densities electrons are heated by cyclotron resonance in crossed microwave electric and static magnetic fields. Phenomena associated with large energies which the electrons possess near cyclotron resonance are discussed. Large plasma densities are achieved by resonating the plasma column by suitably varying the static magnetic field, the microwave frequency and the input power. In this manner, densities of the order of 10 12 cm -3 are obtained at a neutral gas pressure in the micron range.
