The Lower Hybrid resonance effect in the simulation of Ion-Cyclotron plasma heating
The TOPICA (TOrino Polytechnic Ion Cyclotron Antenna) code is an advanced tool for simulating ion-cyclotron (IC) radio frequency antennas. This document presents a study based on simulations of the lower hybrid (LH) resonance effect in the TOPICA code. The document briefly explains the lower hybrid resonance problem, describes the simulation setup, and presents the results in terms of electric field distribution. Additionally, we propose a possible approach to identifying the problem.
