Topics Laser induced fluorescence, Particle accelerators, Plasma waves, Plasmas Helicons are bounded whistler waves, typically at tens of megahertz for hundreds of Gauss of magnetic field, which are currently being considered for applications in space thrusters,1 fusion materials testing,2 and wakefield accelerators.3 Wakefield accelerators are capable of generating accelerating electric fields well in excess of 100 GV/m.4 The accelerating gradient in a plasma accelerator is limited by the...
