A note on the Weibel instability and thermal fluctuations
نویسنده
چکیده
The thermal fluctuation level of the Weibel instability is recalculated. It is shown that the divergence of the fluctuations at long wavelengths, i.e. the Weibel infrared catastrophe, never occurs. At large wavelengths the thermal fluctuation level is terminated by the presence of even the smallest available stable thermal anisotropy. Weibel fields penetrate only one skin depth into the plasma. When excited inside, they cause layers of antiparallel fields of skin depth width and vortices which may be subject to reconnection.

Linear Theory of Temperature Anisotropy Instabilities in Magnetized Thermal Pair Plasmas
A rigorous study of the dispersion relations of weakly amplified and weakly propagating transverse fluctuations with wave vectors ( k B ) parallel to the uniform background magnetic field B in an anisotropic bi-Maxwellian magnetized pair plasma is presented. Earlier work, based on the weakly-amplified limit, is extended to the case of weakly propagating solutions, which includes in particular a...

In this study, the effect of fluctuations of asset markets (exchange rate, oil price and stock market index) on financial instability index over a period of 1388-1397 monthly is investigated by using the Markov Switching model. The wavelet transform model is used to extract exchange rate fluctuations, oil prices and stock market index. The results show that the effect of exchange rate fluctuati...

The dynamics of two counter-streaming electron-positron-ion unmagnetized plasma shells with zero net charge is analyzed in the context of magnetic field generation in GRB internal shocks due to the Weibel instability. The effects of large thermal motion of plasma particles, arbitrary mixture of plasma species and space charge effects are taken into account. We show that, although thermal effect...
متن کاملThe Impact of Exchange and Inflation Rate Instability on Lending Behavior of Iranian Banks
Exchange rate instability brings about significant changes in the domestic and foreign sectors that can impose negative effects on the whole economy. The present study investigates the effect of exchange and inflation rate instability on the lending behavior of Iranian banks by using data of the 10 banks over the time period 1382-1397(2003-2018). To do this, at first, a GARCH(1,1) of the exchan...

Based on hep-ph/0510121, we discuss further the numerical study of classical SU(2) 3+1-D Yang-Mills equations for matter produced in a high energy heavy ion collision. The growth of the amplitude of fluctuations as exp (Γ √ g2μτ) (where gμ is a scale arising from the saturation of gluons in the nuclear wavefunction) is shown to be robust over a wide range of initial amplitudes that violate boos...
