Parametric excitation by magnetosonic waves in a multispecies plasma
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5793433
A magnetosonic pump wave propagating in a plasma with two ion species decays into two electrostatic ion-cyclotron modes at a threshold significantly less than those needed to excite parametric or modified two-stream instabilities in a single-species plasma when T/sub e//T/sub i/ > 1. The pump wave frequency must somewhat exceed the sum of the ion gyrofrequencies. 9 refs., 2 figs.
