Parametric instabilities in a magnetized plasma
Abstract
This paper makes a study of stimulated Raman scattering and stimulated Brillouin scattering of an incident electromagnetic pump wave in a magnetized plasma. The background magnetic field is taken to be parallel to the pump electric field. The growth rates of the two stimulated-scattering instabilities are found to be reduced in the presence of the background magnetic field.
