Filamentation stability properties of a self-pinched hollow electron beam propagating through a collisional plasma channel are investigated within the framework of linearized Vlasov--Maxwell equations, assuming that the beam is thin and that the equilibrium and perturbed space-charge fields are neutralized by background plasma. It is further assumed that the perturbations are well tuned with k-italic..beta../sub b-italic/c-italic+l-italic..omega../sub b-italic/ and satisfy l-italica-italic<
