Abstract
Experimental results are presented on the growth, diffusion, and saturation of magnetic fields spontaneously generated by the interaction of intense microwave radiation with an inhomogeneous plasma. Finite-bandwidth pumps permitted the investigation of the mechanisms responsible for magnetic field generation and their control.Keywords
