It is shown that, in dense plasmas, dielectronic capture into doubly excited ionic states followed by the ladderlike excitation-ionization chain becomes important in the excitation-ionization process of ions. For an example of a hydrogenlike ion, its contribution to the excitation 1s..-->..2s, 2p and also to the ionization has been evaluated by the method of the quasisteady-state solution to the rate equations. The increase is found to be substantial, i.e., by more than a factor of 2 both for the excitation and ionization rate coefficients.

By injecting rf power P/sub rf/ near the lower hybrid frequency into an Ohmically heated plasma near the end of tokamak discharge in the WT-2, an rf-driven current-sustained plasma is produced and continues to exist during the rf injection period, the toroidal current (I/sub p/approx.10 kA) being generated by the lower hybrid wave only without the Ohmic power. The efficiency of rf-driven current generation is high and attains I/sub p//P/sub rf/roughly-equal0.9 kA/kW at the plasma density n/sub e/approx. =1.4 x 10/sup 12/ cm/sup -3/, with somewhat lower efficiency at higher density.

A theoroetical model of the triggering of a solar flare by magnetosonic waves in a neutral sheet plasma is discussed. It is shown that the ponderomotive force due to the magnetosonic waves strongly excites the plamsa convection flow in the magnetic neutral sheet which in turn enhances the tearing instability. The system of basic equations for the tearing mode, including the time-averaged nonlinear effects due to the growth time of the instability is shortened to about 100 s for reasonable magnetosonic wave intensity.

Total charge transfer cross sections are calculated for the collisions of Li 3+ and Be 4+ ions with H(1s) atoms in the low energy region ( E <25 keV/amu). The perturbed-stationaly-state method in the impact parameter approximation is used with a basis set of adiabatic one-electron two-center molecular orbitals. For the Li 3+ -H system, a reasonable agreement is found between the present calculation and the recent experiment.

A new procedure for the maximum entropy spectral estimation is studied for the purpose of data processing in Fourier transform spectroscopy. The fitting of the autoregressive model to the interferogram is examined under a least‐squares criterion based on the Yule‐Walker equations. A practical criterion is suggested for selecting the model order. The principal advantage of the new procedure lies in the enhanced frequency resolution, particularly for small values of the maximum optical path difference of the interferogram. The usefulness of the procedure is ascertained by some numerical simulations and further by experiments with respect to a highly coherent submillimeter wave and the electron cyclotron emission from a stellarator plasma.

Suppression of the beam-excited electron wave in a bounded system is investigated in connection with the beam distribution function. Wave suppression has two different processes depending on whether injected beams are reflected at the other end or not. In the absence of reflected beam electrons, deformation of the beam distribution function is observed in relation to the suppression of the electron wave. However, when beam electrons are reflected, the external wave suppresses the electron wave but distribution function shows no appreciable change. By using the method of partial simulation, interaction between two waves in the bounded system including nonlinear motions of beam electrons is studied numerically. Qualitative agreement between experimental and numerical results is obtained.
