Microwave propagation in a magnetized inhomogeneous plasma slab using the Appleton–Hartree magnetoionic theory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electromagnetic wave propagation in a nonuniform, collisional, magnetized plasma slab is investigated within magnetoionic theory. We allow for the presence of an ideal conductor at a distance d from the right transmissive plasma boundary, and derive the reflection, absorption, and transmission coefficients analytically for an arbitrary inhomogeneous plasma density profile. Dividing the inhomogeneous plasma slab into n thin layers allows for treating each layer as a homogeneous plasma and, therefore, the complex index of refraction of the magnetoionic theory is used to express the complex propagation vector of the waves in each layer. Upon matching the fields at all interfaces, a global matrix is formed that allows for the determination of the reflection, absorption, and transmission coefficients analytically. Results show that in the absence of the metallic wall, the reflected signal is a weak peak near ω ce , while in the presence of the metallic wall this weak signal is overwhelmed by a strong transmitted peak from right to left after it has been reflected by the perfectly conducting metallic wall. Also, formation of a wider stealth band as the plasma density increases is observed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
