Abstract

Using a coaxial double plasma device we excited the lower hybrid wave in an argon plasma in mirror magnetic fields. When the lower hybrid wave was excited the perpendicular ion energy E ⊥ and the plasma density n were increased. A relation between the relative changes of the average energy ΔE ⊥/ E ⊥ and the density Δn n agrees very well with a relation expected from loss-cone considerations.
