Record 1 2015-04-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

An electrostatic drift instability in a range of frequency, including the ion cyclotron frequency, where the adiabatic invariance is destroyed.

OBS

This instability has its highest growth rate when the frequency of the transverse drift wave is in resonance with multiples of the ion cyclotron frequency.

OBS

drift-cyclotron resonance instability: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Instabilité électrostatique de dérive dans un intervalle de fréquence incluant la fréquence gyromagnétique des ions pour laquelle l'invariance adiabatique est détruite.

OBS

Cette instabilité a un taux de croissance maximale quand la fréquence de l'onde de dérive transversale est en résonance avec des multiples de la fréquence gyromagnétique des ions.
