Abstract
New results are obtained on plasma column resonances subjected to a high‐frequency field for the case of high incident power. The resonance shift and hysteresis are measured with good accuracy. A theoretical model based on the energy balance of the electron gas is established. It is shown that the plasma is maintained in a resonant state by the high‐frequency (HF) power with or without dc current. A graphical method to determine the electron density variation due to the HF field is described. This method predicts correctly the resonance shift and the hysteresis.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
