Experimental observation of the ion--ion beam instability in a cylindrical geometry

Journal Article Romesser, T ; Hershkowitz, N - Phys. Fluids, v. 18, no. 10, pp. 1354-1361

The ion-ion beam instability is investigated in a cylindrical geometry. In the presence of a cylindrically symmetric ion beam a coherent ion-ion beam instability is observed for a well-defined range of beam velocity. This instability gives rise to cylindrical standing waves whose frequency depends upon beam velocity. The beam distribution function is measured to be a ring in velocity space. The dispersion relation appropriate for the cylindrical standing waves is solved numerically and is shown to be in good agreement with the experimentally observed instability.

Effects of Axial Boundary Conductivity on a Free Stewartson-Shercliff Layer

Dataset Caspary, Kyle J ; Choi, Dahan ; Ebrahimi, Fatima ; ...

The effects of axial boundary conductivity on the formation and stability of a magnetized free Stewartson-Shercliff layer (SSL) in a short Taylor-Couette device are reported. As the axial field increases with insulating endcaps, hydrodynamic Kelvin-Helmholtz-type instabilities set in at the SSLs of the conducting fluid, resulting in a much reduced flow shear. With conducting endcaps, SSLs respond to an axial field weaker by the square root of the conductivity ratio of endcaps to fluid. Flow shear continuously builds up as the axial field increases despite the local violation of the Rayleigh criterion, leading to a large number of hydrodynamically unstablemore »« less

Analysis of a cyclotron maser instability in cylindrical geometry

Journal Article Vorgul, I ; Cairns, R A ; Bingham, R ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Cyclotron maser instability is known to be one of the main mechanisms of coherent radio emission in space and laboratory plasmas. This paper investigates a particular case of such an instability induced by a horseshoe- or crescent-shaped electron velocity distribution function, which is produced when an electron beam propagates in a convergent magnetic field, whether it is Earth's magnetic field or one introduced in a laboratory experiment. The instability is analyzed in cylindrical geometry which is relevant to auroral kilometric radiation and to a laboratory experiment. Exact modeling of TE and TM anisotropic modes for circular electronic beam shows itsmore »« less
