Signal Dispersion and Faraday Rotation in Hot Plasmas

John Skilling

Year: 1971 Journal:   The Physics of Fluids Vol: 14 (11)Pages: 2523-2531   Publisher: AIP Publishing

Abstract

The signal dispersion and Faraday rotation of high-frequency radiation passing through a hot, possibly relativistic plasma are investigated. Corrections are found to the formulas given by cold-plasma theory. Results for the damping are compared with synchrotron self-absorption formulas.
