Expansions of the mildly relativistic dispersion function for nearly perpendicular electron cyclotron ray tracing
JOURNAL OF PLASMA PHYSICS(1999)
摘要
To trace rays very close to the nth electron cyclotron harmonic, we need the mildly relativistic plasma dispersion function and its higher-order derivatives, Expressions for these functions have been obtained as an expansion for nearly perpendicular propagation in a region where computer programs have previously experienced difficulty in accuracy, namely when the magnitude of (c/upsilon(t))(2)(omega-n omega(e))/omega is between 1 and 10, In this region, the large-argument expansions are not Set valid, but partial cancellations of terms occur. The expansion is expressed as a sum over derivatives of the ordinary dispersion function Z, New expressions are derived to relate higher-order derivatives of Z to Z itself in this region of concern in terms of a finite series.
