Kinetic full wave analysis of electromagnetic waves in plasmas using integral operator form of dielectric tensor

In order to describe kinetic response of plasmas to electromagnetic waves, dielectric tensor is formulated as an integral operator without introducing wave number. In magnetized plasmas, the response due to the particle motion along the magnetic field line and the cyclotron motion are expressed separately. This formulation is implemented in two-dimensional full wave analyses using the finite element method, and applied to the analyses of plasma production and heating in various configurations, e.g. Landau damping of helicon waves, cyclotron damping in a magnetic mirror, and mode conversion to Bernstein waves.
