Ion-beam-driven resonant ion-cyclotron instability

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 36, no. 6, pp. 319-322
; ; ;
The resonant ion-beam-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability is identified. Measured dispersion relation and onset versus beam energy and density agree with numerical calculations based on a theory which includes beam- acoustic terms. After amplitude saturation, velocity-space diffusion of the beam ions is observed. (AIP)
