( ω p> ω with ω p and ω being the electron-plasma and wave frequencies, respectively)
plasma confined in a minimum B multicusp field, for waves launched in the k⊥ B o mode, is
addressed through experiments and numerical simulations. The scale length of radial
plasma nonuniformity (| ne/(∂ ne/∂ r)|) and magnetostatic field (B o) inhomogeneity (| B
o/(∂ B o/∂ r)|) are much smaller than the free space (λ o) and guided wavelengths (λ g) …
