Electromagnetic instabilities in a focused ion beam propagating through a z-discharge plasma. Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5171973
; ;
A beam-plasma system consisting of a focused light ion beam propagating through a z-discharge plasma is analyzed for electromagnetic velocity space instabilities. In particular, the Weibel and the Whistler instabilities are studied. It is found that unstable modes do not grow fast enough to affect the beam propagation in a pellet-fusion-reactor chamber.
