Abstract

Measurements of electron waves attenuation on drifting plasmas are described. The results are given for mercury pool temperatures of 10°, 15° and 20°C. From the theoretical point of view various physical mechanisms leading to damping are described: collisional loss due to electron-atom collisions, collisional loss Landau damping and dielectric loss in the discharge tube walls. The total attenuation coefficient is derived as a sum of the various contributing effects. Comparison of theory and experimental data is presented.
