Helicon waves in FRC configurations
October 2022 | F. Ceccherini | APS-DPP 2022 | Poster
The full-wave code RF_Pisa has been extended to model the so-called Helicon regime. These waves are whistler-type waves with a two-branch dispersion relation.

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) are characterized by particular electric and magnetic field geometries that are due to the presence of unique particle orbit types as so-called Betatron, Drift, Fig8 and Type 1 orbits.
