Summary
The physical mechanism responsible for the plasma maser effect is clarified. High-frequency nonlinear forces which come from the resonant interaction between electrons and a modulated electric field drive the instability.
Riassunto
Si chiarisce il meccanismo responsabile dell'effetto maser del plasma, Le forze non lineari ad alta frequenza che derivano dall'interazione lineare tra gli elettroni e un campo elettrico modulato inducono l'instabilità.
