Scattering of radio frequency waves by density filaments

Here, we present an abbreviated review of recent studies on the scattering of radio frequency waves by plasma turbulence. The plasma turbulence occurs in the scrape-off layer and in the edge region of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency waves are used for delivering energy and mome...

Summary:Here, we present an abbreviated review of recent studies on the scattering of radio frequency waves by plasma turbulence. The plasma turbulence occurs in the scrape-off layer and in the edge region of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency waves are used for delivering energy and momentum to the core plasma. As the waves propagate through a turbulent plasma, their propagation characteristics are affected. The studies reported in this paper are on the various changes that occur due to turbulence.
