Langmuir wave self-focusing versus decay instability
Electron trapping in a finite amplitude Langmuir wave (LW) leads to a frequency shift, ∆ωTP < 0 , and reduced Landau damping. These may lead to modulational instability. Its growth rate and damping threshold, due to escape of trapped electrons at rate ν, are calculated for the first time in the short wavelength regime. If the background plasma is in thermal equilibrium, it is shown that this tr...
متن کاملLangmuir Wave Generation Through A Neutrino Beam Instability
A standard version of a kinetic instability for the generation of Langmuir waves by a beam of electrons is adapted to describe the analogous instability due to a beam of neutrinos. The interaction between a Langmuir wave and a neutrino is treated in the one-loop approximation to lowest order in an expansion in 1/M W in the standard electroweak model. It is shown that this kinetic instability is...
متن کاملTheoretical Investigation of Langmuir Wave Instability in Irradiated Dusty Plasmas
Instability of high frequency wave, such as, Langmuir wave (LW) is studied using fluid model in collisional and streaming dusty plasma with dust charge fluctuation. In irradiated dusty plasma, dust charge fluctuation is considered to be due to the combined effect of LW perturbation and photoelectron emission. The piled up electrons on a dust grain due to LW perturbation can be swept out by phot...
متن کاملExperimental Progress: Current Filamentation Instability Study
Current Filamentation Instability, CFI, is of central importance for the propagation of relativistic electron beams in plasmas. CFI has potential relevance to astrophysics, magnetic field and radiation generation in the afterglow of gamma ray bursts, and inertial confinement fusion, energy transport in the fast-igniter concept. An experimental study of this instability is underway at the Brookh...
متن کاملFilamentation instability of counterstreaming laser-driven plasmas.
Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counterstreaming, ablatively driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collisionless regime relevant to astrophysical collisionless shocks. The flows were created by irradiating a pair of opposing plastic (CH) foils with 1.8 kJ, 2-ns laser pulses on the OMEGA EP Laser System. Ultrafast laser-dr...
