Abstract
One of the important problems in the theory of a high-frequency discharge in electromagnetic wave beams (optical [1] , submillimeter [2] and rf [3] bands) in the study of self -consistent plasma-field evolution at the first afterbreakdown stages characterized by high electron temperature (Te > 104°K ) and low heavy particle temperature (Tm ~ 300°K). In the present paper the computer simulation results for the dynamics of such a nonequilibrium discharge in a converging wave beam are given. The analogous problem for a diverging beam was solved in [4].
