Abstract

Signals due to the change of diamagnetic pressure of the plasma have been measured to demonstrate the plasma heating by the axisymmetric fast (compressional) wave which is launched toward a region of increasing magnetic field. As expected from our previous experiment concerning the conversion of the fast wave into the ion cyclotron wave in a cylindrical plasma, a remarkable increment of the diamagnetism has been observed for the first time near the ion cyclotron resonance area.
