✦ Synopsis

Flat Langmuir probes, a flush mounted probe and an insulated antenna were used to investigate the correlation between the plasma density and the occurrence of radio frequency-and X-band-noise as a fingerprint for parametric decay processes in a magnetized linear plasma device. The decay products of the driving microwave may influence the entire scenario of electron and ion heating in the plasma.
