Abstract

In recent years much attention has been paid to the interaction of an electron beam andaplasma. Due to this interaction amplifying waves and non-convective instabilities can occur [1] -[4]. This provides a possible method of heating a plasma by converting d.c. energy of a beam into thermal energy of a plasma [5].
