Abstract
A simplified discharge model for the prediction of the wave-to-plasma power transfer in high-frequency collisional argon plasmas in the presence of a static magnetic field is presented. The study is based on the solutions to the homogeneous electron Boltzmann equation for an oscillating electric field composed of a right- and left-hand-side rotating parts, moving around the magnetic-field lines. The mean absorbed power per electron to maintain the plasma is calculated for a container with nonconducting surfaces and the results are then compared with an experiment in the literature.
