Some Features of ICR Heating by a Solenoidal Antenna

A study is made of some characteristic features of ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) heating in plasma-based isotope separators. The effects associated with ion drift in the RF field of a solenoidal antenna are considered in the single-particle approximation. Estimates are obtained and numerical calculations are carried out for ICR heating in the case of a “narrow” ((rho)/r ~ 1, where (rho) is the ion gyroradius) plasma flow.
