Abstract

A new theoretical model to study surface wave–particle interaction in a cylindrical plasma has been developed. This model is based on linear resolution of the Vlasov equation, with the specular reflection hypothesis. Expressions for the breakdown time of the linear solution and for the rate of increase of kinetic energy per electron, as a function of the critical parameters, have been obtained.
