Gradient Effects

In the fast ignition scenario for inertial fusion, a relativistic electron beam is supposed to travel from the side of the fusion pellet to its core. One one hand, a relativistic electron beam passing through a plasma is a highly unstable system. On the other hand, the pellet core is denser than its side by four orders of magnitude so that the beam makes its way through a important density gradient. We here investigate the effect of this gradient on the instabilities. It is found that they should develop so early that gradient effects are negligible in the linear phase.
