Abstract
Experimental results are presented which show that r.f. power at frequencies near the lower hybrid frequency couples resonantly into a standing whistler wave. For an input power flux of less than 5 W cm-2 densities above 1012 cm-3 with close to 100% ionization have been achieved. Measured density, temperatures and wave fields are presented and are used as input parameters for a theoretical model.
