Description
This paper analyzes the electrostatic instability driven by a fast ion beam in a low-β plasma in a mirror system as the result of a resonance between the wave and the longitudinal bounces of ions between the mirrors. The frequency of this instability is close to the ion bounce frequency, and its growth rate is several times low than that of the flute instability. This electrostatic instability is characteristic of beams with a small angular spread and is sensitive to the magnetic field profile in the mirror system
