Plasma waves in hot relativistic beam-plasma systems. Part 2. Kinetic and hydrodynamic instabilities
Abstract
Temporal and spatial hydrodynamical instabilities and kinetic instabilities of plasma waves are considered for a relativistic beam-plasma System. The beam and plasma temperatures, and the beam velocity, may be relativistic. Instability conditions and growth rates are evaluated. An unusual case of kinetic stability inversion, for relativistic or dense beams, is discussed.
