Observation of Spontaneous Chorus Emission in RT-1: Frequency Variation in Plasma Confined by Dipole Magnetic Field with High-Temperature Electrons.

Caption

When the plasma confined in the dipole magnetic field of RT-1 contains a significant ratio of high-temperature electrons (red particles), the spontaneous formation of a chorus emission (white emission lines) is characterized by a variable frequency (sound height) like birdsong.
