Self-Consistent Stationary Distributions of the Electric Field and Plasma Density in the Process of Ionization Self-Channeling of Quasielectrostatic Waves

We find self-consistent stationary distributions of the electric field and plasma density in the process of ionization self-channeling of quasielectrostatic waves in the lower-hybrid frequency range. The calculations employ the empirical relationship between the frequency of electron impact ionization and the amplitude of the electric wave field, which has been used earlier in solving similar problems. The conditions of applicability and the form of this relationship are refined. Geometric parameters of the antenna whose radiation leads to the formation of the obtained discharge structure are found.
