fulltext CRITICAL ENERGY IN THE CYCLOTRON HEATING OF IONS IN AN ECR PLASMA SOURCE.* César Gutiérrez-Tapia1 and Omar Hernández-Aguirre2 1Departamento de Física, Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, Apartado Postal 18-1027, México 11801, D. F. 2Facultad de Ciencias, UAEM, Instituto Literario 100, Toluca, México The problem of plasma cyclotron heating in ECR plasma sources, to sustain the discharge, remains important at present. There are two methods for the analysis of this problem. The first one is the one particle stochastic mechanism and the second one is related with the non-linear interaction of waves where the collective behaviour of particles becomes the most important. In this work, in the Hamilton formalism, the stochastic mechanism of the cyclotron heating is analyzed. It is considered the case of an ECR plasma source where a TE11 electromagnetic wave is applied. The critical energy for the resonance mixing is calculated an by the “section-of-surface” method the inhomogeneity of the external magnetic field is analyzed. PACS: 52.50.-b 1. AVERAGING METHOD The equation of motion for one particle can be written as ( ),BvEp ×+= c ee dt d (1) where vp m= is the momentum, e and m are the charge and the mass of the ions. The magnetic field B and the electric field E in eq. (1) are assumed as the sum of slowly varying in space fields plus rapidly varying fields in the form .~,~ 00 BBBEEE +=+= (2) The electromagnetic wave propagating along the Oz axis is represented as ( ) ( ){ } ( ) ( ){ },0,cos,sin~ ,0,sin,cos~ 0 0 kztkztE kztkztE −−−= −−= ωω ωω B E (3) where ω is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave, and ck /ω= is the wave vector.

In order to use the Bogoliuvov’s averaging method with resonances [1] it becomes important to transform the system of equations (6) into the standard form. This procedure is obtained by the introduction of the complex variable ρ : ( ) .'' 2 exp 0 0     Ω= ∫ τ ττζρ di (7) In this case, the equation of motion of the perpendicular motion is ( ) ( )[ ],exp12 0 ZiZg −−−=+ θζωζ  (8) where ,2/00 Ω=ω and '.)'( 0 0 τττθ τ d∫ Ω−= The “surface-of-section” picture of equation (8) is shown in Fig. 1. From this figure, we can observe that as the amplitude of the wave increases the convergence to a point is more slowly. In the case of very high values of the amplitude we obtain high-order resonances (small circles). This picture illustrates that there exist critical values of the energy absorption in dependence of the power of the wave. ζ ζ Fig. 1.

To study the energy absorption at the cyclotron resonance, we will consider the parameters of an electron cyclotron resonance plasma source reported in [3]. The magnetic field )(zBz is calculated using the method described in [4]. The parameters used in calculations are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Parameters for calculating the magnetic field and the perpendicular energy (12).

The first one corresponds to the field density 5 0 1062.2 ×=E V/cm, and the second one corresponds to the case of 2 0 1062.2 ×=E V/cm. As can be seen from these charts, a maximum of the energy absorption is present. If the field density is increased, the energy absorption is stopped (the average is equal to zer). Here a big question arises, is there only one maximum in the energy absorption? Fig. 2. Energy axial distribution for two values of the wave amplitude 5 0 1062.2 ×=E (A) and 2 0 1062.2 ×=E (B). 2. OBTANING OF THE HAMILTONIAN Following the procedure reported in [5] to describe the motion of a charged particle in magnetic mirror systems in presence of an electromagnetic field, where the perturbation method applied to the Hamiltonian of the particle seems to be highly suitable in using canonical transformations and thus finding the cyclic coordinates (momentums and frequencies) of motion of the particle. An appropriated form of the Hamiltonian is obtained by replacing the cylindrical coordinates by orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, defined by the lines of force of the magnetic field. By applying the perturbation method of multi-periodic systems to the Hamiltonian in these coordinates, the Hamiltonian of the guiding centers is obtained from which the integrals of motion and the frequencies of motion can be determined. The magnetic geometry for a mirror system is defined by two equations ,0,0 == BB divrot and by the boundary conditions. The motion of a particle in this field is described by the Hamiltonian in the field coordinates [5] ,0 HHH ∆+= (13) where 0H is the Hamiltonian which accounts for the external magnetic field, and H∆ is the Hamiltonian associated with the electromagnetic field. Introducing the magnetic field for a mirror system in the form [ ],)(1)(),(,0),( zkzBBB z αηξηξϕ +== (14) where ),(/1 zBk = and )(zB is the magnetic field along the Oz axis. Using the perturbative method described in [5] in relation with the small parameter k , and the initial and boundary conditions: if ,0=k ,ξ=r η=z ; ( ) ( ) 0,0,0,0 == ηη zr , as well as the components of the electric field for the case of a 11TE cylindrical wave- guide 166 ( ) [ ] ( ) [ ] ,0~ .,.(exp cos~ .,.(exp sin~ ' 0 20 = +− ×−= +− ×−= z lql lq H lql lq Hr E cctkzi lrJkZiCE cctkzi lrJ r lkZiCE ω ϕγ γ ω ϕγ γ ϕ (15) where Rj lqlq /'=γ , lqj' is the n-th root of equation 0)(' =xJ l , R is the internal wave-guide radius and HZ is the impedance.

Expression (16) is obtained in the limit 1/ 21 < <pp . 3. STOCHASTIC ANALYSIS From the expression (20) for 0H we can determine η until zero-order terms with respect to k as follows ,0 01 ηη η + Ω = t p v (18) transforming the Hamiltonian into ( ) ( )( )[ ( )( )].qcos cos sin2 4 2 cos 002 002 201 0 01 2 21 2 01 θω θω ω η η η ++−Ω+ +−+−Ω+ ×Ω +         Ω ++Ω= tvk tvkq lqmp mc eE mp p qqpH r (19) Here it was assumed that ,01 tq Ω= and 01/ Ω= pkk .

This result was obtained in [6], where an electrostatic wave was considered. In order to analyze the merging of the stochasticity it becomes important the construction of “surface-of-section” pictures of Hamiltonian (20) in dependence of the wave amplitude value.
