Abstract
Stability of the electroacoustic wave in an infinite one dimensional plasma with a DC electric field is analysed. Residual charged particle-neutral collisions are modelled by a BGK term. With the ion collisions weak, the effect of ion acceleration in the DC electric field is taken into account. Conditions for unstable propagation are discussed.
