| cyclotron frequency | <radiobiology> Number of times per second that a particle orbits a magnetic field line. The frequency is completely determined by the strength of the field and the particle's charge-to-mass ratio. (Often, and incorrectly, called the Larmor frequency. The cyclotron or gyrofrequency is twice the Larmor frequency of precession.) (09 Oct 1997) |

| Alfven ion cyclotron instability | <radiobiology> An electromagnetic microinstability near the ion cyclotron frequency, driven by the ion loss cone in a mirror device. Acronym: AIC (13 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| cyclotron | <radiobiology> Particle accelerator in which a magnetic field causes particles to orbit in circles, and an oscillating electric field accelerates the particles. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cyclotron radius | <radiobiology> Radius of orbit of charged particle about a magnetic field line. Synonym: gyroradius, Larmor radius. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cyclotron resonance | <radiobiology> Charged particles in a magnetic field resonate with (and absorb energy from) an electric field (perpendicular to the magnetic field) which oscillates at the particles' cyclotron frequency, or at a harmonic (multiple) of that frequency. (09 Oct 1997) |
| drift cyclotron loss cone instabilities | (DCLC) This is an electrostatic microinstability (frequencies at harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency) which is of major concern in small mirror devices. Mode is driven by radial gradients in the electron density, and causes loss of ions due to non-conservation of magnetic moment (see adiabatic invariant) as they interact with the mode, and are dispersed in velocity space into the loss cone. Stabilisation is accomplished by increasing the plasma size and by partially filling the loss cone with a continuous extermal warm plasma stream. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ion cyclotron emission | <radiobiology> As ions gyrate around in a magnetic field (see also larmor radius or cyclotron radius), they radiate radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. This is known as ion cyclotron emission, and can be measured to help diagnose a plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| electron cyclotron discharge cleaning | Using relatively low power microwaves (at the electron cyclotron frequency) to create a weakly ionised, essentially unconfined hydrogen plasma in the vacuum chamber. The ions react with impurities on the walls of the tokamak and help remove them from the chamber. For instance, Alcator C-mod typically applies electron cyclotron discharge cleaning for a few days prior to beginning a campaign, and a few hours before each day's run. (09 Oct 1997) |
| electron cyclotron emission | <physics, radiobiology> As electrons gyrate around in a magnetic field (see also larmor radius or cyclotron radius), they radiate radio-frequency electromagnetic waves. This is known as electron cyclotron emission, and can be measured to help diagnose a plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| electron cyclotron heating | <physics, radiobiology> Radiofrequency heating scheme that works by injecting electromagnetic wave energy at the electron cyclotron gyration frequency. The electric field of the electromagnetic wave at this frequency looks to a gyrating electron like a static electric field, and thus causes large acceleration of the electron (larger than if the frequency were off the cyclotron frequency and thus, to the electron, appearing to change direction as a function of time). The accelerated electron gains energy, which is then shared with other particles through collisions, resulting in heating. Higher harmonics (multiples) of the cyclotron frequency can also be used in principle. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bounce frequency | <physics> The average frequency of oscillation of a particle trapped in a magnetic mirror as it bounces back and forth between its turning points in regions of high magnetic field. (See also trapped particle, turning points, banana orbit). (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio frequency current drive | <radiobiology> Plasma waves in the radio-frequency range can be used to push plasma particles in such a way that current forms in the plasma, this is a method of non-inductive current drive which would allow for steady-state fusion reactors to operate. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio frequency heating | <radiobiology> Process for heating the plasma by transferring energy to ions or electrons using waves generated by an external oscillator at an appropriate frequency. (This is similar to how a microwave oven heats food.) There are various types: See: ECRH, ICRH, and Lower Hybrid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radio frequency or radiofrequency | <physics> Term used to describe electromagnetic radiation with frequencies less than infrared, but greater than audio frequencies, i.e., greater than about 15,000 Hz. Wavelengths are therefore less than about 20,000 km and greater than about 0.01 mm. (These numbers are not precise.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene frequency | The relative occurence (expressed as a percentage) of a gene in a given population. (09 Oct 1997) |
| recombination frequency | The frequency at which crossingover occurs between two chromosomal loci--the probability that twoloci will become unlinked during meiosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
