Negative energy waves and quantum relativistic Buneman instabilities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantum relativistic Buneman instability is investigated theoretically using a collective Klein-Gordon model for the electrons and a cold fluid model for the ions. The growth rate and unstable wave spectrum is investigated in different parameter regimes corresponding to various degrees of relativistic and quantum effects. The results may be important for streaming instabilities involving ion dynamics in very dense plasmas.

Diffusive radiation in Langmuir turbulence produced by jet shocks
Anisotropic distributions of charged particles including two-stream distributions give rise to generation of either stochastic electric fields (in the form of Langmuir waves, Buneman instability) or random quasi-static magnetic fields (Weibel and filamentation instabilities) or both. These two-stream instabilities are known to play a key role in collisionless shock formation, shock-shock intera...
متن کاملWhich One Grows Faster?
Many competing linear instabilities are likely to occur in astrophysical settings, and it is important to assess which one grows faster for a given situation. An analytical model including the main beam plasma instabilities is developed. The full 3D dielectric tensor is thus explained for a cold relativistic electron beam passing through a cold plasma, accounting for a guiding magnetic field, a...
متن کاملElectron acceleration in a nonrelativistic shock with very high Alfvén Mach number.
Electron acceleration associated with various plasma kinetic instabilities in a nonrelativistic shock with very high Alfvén Mach number (M(A)~45) is revealed by means of a two-dimensional fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation. Electromagnetic (ion Weibel) and electrostatic (ion-acoustic and Buneman) instabilities are strongly activated at the same time in different regions of the two-dimens...
متن کاملAcceleration Mechanics in Relativistic Shocks by the Weibel Instability
Plasma instabilities (e.g., Buneman, Weibel and other two-stream instabilities) created in collisionless shocks may be responsible for particle (electron, positron, and ion) acceleration. Using a 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code, we have investigated particle acceleration associated with relativistic electron-ion or electron-positron jet fronts propagating into an unmagneti...
متن کاملIon thermal effects on E-region instabilities: linear theory
Linear instabilities and turbulent processes in equatorial and high-latitude electrojets lead to formation of plasma density irregularities which create much of the common E-region radar clutter. Studies of these irregularities have focused on the role of the Farley-Buneman (FB) and gradient drift instabilities with the assumption that the plasma behaves isothermally or adiabatically. In the la...
