Finite Larmor radius corrections have been considered in the effects of strong magnetic fields on stimulated Raman scattering. A nonlinear dispersion relation describing the various channels of decay has been derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell equations and frequencies and growth rates determined for the decay of incident laser light in the extraordinary mode into scattered extraordinary mode radiation and electron Bernstein waves. A relativistic one-and-a-half dimensional particle code has been used to simulate the scattering process and the results from the numerical experiments have been compared with those obtained analytically, the agreement being generally good. Growth rates of the Bernstein waves are substantial when sufficiently strong magnetic fields are present in hot plasmas. Under these conditions the kinetic analysis shows that, in contrast to the predictions of fluid theory, the scattered light emitted from densities well below the quarter-critical layer can have a frequency less than ½ω0 where ω0 is the laser frequency. In an unmagnetized plasma this occurs only when the plasma has a finite temperature.

Both the penetrating power of the cosmic rays through material ab­sorbers and their ability to reach the earth in spite of its magnetic field, make it certain that the energy of many of the primary particles must reach at least 10 11 e-volts. However, the energy measurements by Kunze, and by Anderson, using cloud chambers in strong magnetic fields, have extended only to about 5 x 10 9 e-volts. Particles of greater energy were reported, but the curvature of their tracks was too small to be measured with certainty. We have extended these energy measurements to somewhat higher energies, using a large electro-magnet specially built for the purpose and described in Part I. As used in these experiments, the magnet allowed the photography of tracks 17 cm long in a field of about 14,000 gauss. The magnet weighed about 11,000 kilos and used a power of 25 kilowatts.
