Nonlinear evolution of the modified Simon-Hoh instability via a cascade of sideband instabilities in a weak beam plasma system
- 1. Electrical Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90024 (United States)
Description
The modified Simon-Hoh instability is observed in a collisionless cylindrical plasma, produced by a weak electron beam, in which electrons are strongly magnetized and the ions are essentially unmagnetized. The nonlinear evolution of this instability occurs through a sequence of sideband instabilities, thought to be induced by trapped ions, and can lead to a chaotic state
