Summary
The relativistic quasi-linear theory of electron cyclotron fluctuations is developed for a homogeneous plasma. Expressions are given for the absorption and emission coefficients, consistently with the currently employed linear theory. The extension to the inhomogeneousplasma case is considered and shown to allow the analysis of wave propagation, absorption and emission in plasmas of physical interest.
Riassunto
Si sviluppa la teoria quasi lineare relativistica per le fluttuazioni di onde elettroniche di ciclotrone per un plasma omogeneo. Si otteggono inoltre le espressioni dei coefficienti d'assorbimento ed emissione del plasma, consistentemente con la teoria lineare correntemente usata. Si considera infine l'estensione della teoria ad un plasma disomogeneo, applicandola all'analisi quantitativa di propagazione, assorbimento ed emissione di onde di ciclotrone.
Резюме
Для однородной плазмы развивается релятивистская квазилинейная теория электронных циклотронных флуктуаций. Приводятся вйражения для коэффициентов поглощения и испускания, соответствующих повсеместно используемой линейной теории. Рассматривается обобщения и излучения волн в плазме в физическн интересных случаях.
