Abstract
Preliminary experimental results are shown on the production of plasmas by low frequency helicon waves. At constant rf frequency and power, the results show a maximum in density as the dc magnetic field is varied. The measurements confirm the theoretical expectation that the plasma is ionized by Landau damping of the radiofrequency waves.Keywords
