Abstract

Alfvén hydromagnetic waves are propagated through a cylindrical plasma. The wave velocity, attenuation, impedance, and energy transfer are studied. The theoretical equations predict correctly the functional dependence of the velocity and attenuation, and from these quantities accurate measurements of plasma density and temperature can be obtained. A qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for the hydromagnetic coaxial waveguide impedance, and the energy transferred from an oscillating circuit to the hydromagnetic wave is measured to be 43 ± 10%.
