Nonlinear development of an electromagnetic filamentation instability
Description
A simplified model of an electromagnetic filamentation instability that arises when two counterstreaming electron beams pass through a uniform ion background is treated by statistical mechanical techniques borrowed from fluid turbulence theory. Accumulation of magnetic energy at long wavelengths is predicted, as observed in the numerical simulations of Lee and Lampe
