Abstract
An experimental and theoretical study has been made of the conditions for thermalization of a fast magnetosonic wave in a dense plasma (n similar 10**1**3 cm** minus **3) having toroidal geometry at frequencies near the maximum frequency. When the working frequency of the oscillator lies below the maximum frequency, rf energy can be effectively absorbed due to Cerenkov absorption by plasma electrons. There is also nonlinear absorption of rf energy by electrons and ions near the maximum magnetic field.
