DC Acceleration of Charged Particles by an Electrostatic Wave Propagating Obliquely to a Magnetic Field B-Vector sub 0

摘要

A charged particle trapped in an electrostatic wave is accelerated in the plane perpendicular to the wave vector K-vector. It is found that there is an optimum angle theta = theta sub(m) at which the particle gains a maximum energy which is about four times larger than that at theta = pi /2, theta being K-vector, B-vector sub 0 .
