Transitional evolution of the wave dispersion relation during helicon discharge ignition: an analytical theory from vacuum to steady operation
The helicon and Trivelpiece-Gould wave branches are shown to be two lobes of a single degenerate vacuum root, and their ignition-time splitting, thresholds, and non-adiabatic response are derived analytically.
