3D Vlasov theory of the plasma cascade instability

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)

Description

The plasma cascade instability (PCI) is a proposed mechanism for microbunching in electron beams without dipole magnets. Existing theory is limited to wave propagation that is orthogonal to the advective compression direction. This note provides a theory allowing for wave propagation in arbitrary directions.
