Stochastic heating of electrons by a large-amplitude extraordinary wave in plasma

Stochastic heating of plasma electrons by a large-amplitude electromagnetic wave propagating across a strong external magnetic field is studied theoretically and numerically. An analytic estimate of the threshold wave amplitude at which heating begins is obtained. The dependence of the average electron energy on the magnetic field and plasma density is investigated using particle-in-cell simulations. © 2010 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
