Parametric instabilities (nonlinear): RF power transfer from helicon wave into strongly damped electrostatic fluctuations Lorenz, Krämer, Selenin & Aliev, PSST 14, 63 (5).

3 Basics helicon modes excited via helical antenna The RF power is inductively coupled to the helicon discharge by antennas exciting helicon modes with different azimuthal mode numbers. The fields of a particular mode vary as exp[ im ( ϑ + kz z ω t)]. Helical antennas excite predominantly m = +1 helicon modes on one side of the antenna, m = -1 modes on the other side. E.M. fields: Rotational and potential electric fields mainly perpendicular to B. Three components of magnetic field. rf currents follow rf magnetic field. + B m = -1, -k z m = +1, +k z Helical currents couple to RF magnetic fields (solid lines) of the helicon mode; RF electric fields as dashed lines.

Estimate radial wavenumber from the width of n e (r) effective plasma radius a and from B r (a) = k 1 m -1. In both cases, the resulting B profiles significantly are wider than measured; even for low rf power, calculated profiles wider by factor 1.6 (1.) and 1.9 (.), respectively.

Measuring position 4 cm from center of antenna.- B = 5 mt, p Ar =.6 Pa. At small rf power, damping 3x stronger than predicted from linear theory Damping along with the fluctuation level increases with the rf power. Threshold behavior suggests that the rf power is dissipated via parametrically excited electrostatic fluctuations.
22 Summary Strong focussing of helicon wave energy, particularly at high rf power due to peaked density profiles. However, from comparison with computations (helicon waveguide model) helicon mode dispersion cannot be explained. rf power deposited in helicon discharge determined in absolute units; for P rf = 1.5 kw, rf power deposited 3 W or %, for P rf = 1 W, rf power deposited 4 W or 4 %. Nevertheless, rf power is much higher than predicted: Absorbed power from linear EMHD model accounting for collisional and Landau damping is much lower than measured power, i.e., by factors 3.4/ 7.8 for low/ high powers. The above results are consistent with measurements of helicon damping: - for low power, damping is 3 times higher than predicted; - above threshold power, damping increases with rf power; - simultaneous onset of electrostatic fluctuations mainly excited in the center, where the rf energy has a maximum, suggests dissipation via parametrically excited electrostatic fluctuations.
