About the possibility of existence of current-convective instability in REB-neutral gas injection experiments

  • 1. FOM-Instituut voor Atoom-en Molecuulfysica, Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Description

Evidence is presented that the current-convective instability can be excited in experiments, in which an intense relativistic electron beam is injected into a cylindrical drift tube filled with a low pressure neutral gas (P < 1 torr). The instability occurs when the REB space charge is not neutralized. (author)
