Stream Instability

Stream instabilities are widely studied due to their importance in understanding astrophysical phenomena such as acceleration of high velocity of solar wind. In this work, the simulation of electron two stream instability was performed using Vorpal Simulation (VSim) code to explore the kinetic energy of plasma that arises due to the interaction between two counter-streaming electron beams at different velocities as well as different electron densities. The electron beam velocity was varied in the range of 3.58 × 106 m/s - 7.98 × 106 m/s and the resulting kinetic energy of plasma increased from 19 × 10−6J - 210 × 10−6J respectively. Also, increasing the electron density at fixed beam velocity from 1.05 × 1014m−3 - 5.84 × 1014m−3, the kinetic energy was observed to increase from 100 × 10−6J - 200 × 10−6J .However, the kinetic energy of the electron increases more with increasing beam velocity than with increasing electron density. The electric field energy which arose due to the interaction of the streaming beams did not exceed the energy of the beams.

Stream Instability

It is well known that electron beams accelerated in solar flares can drive two-stream instability and produce radio bursts in the solar corona as well as in the interplanetary medium. Recent observations show that the solar wind likely originates from nanoflare-like events near the surface of the Sun where locally heated plasma escapes along open field lines into space. Recent numerical simulations and theoretical studies show that electron two-stream instability (ETSI) driven by nanoflare-accelerated electron beams can produce the observed nanoflare-type radio bursts, the non-Maxwellian electron velocity distribution function of the solar wind, and the kinetic scale turbulence in solar wind. This brief review focus on the basic theoretical framework and recent progress in the nonlinear evolution of ETSI driven by electron beams, including the formation of electron holes, Langmuir wave generation in warm plasma, and the nonlinear modulation instability and Langmuir collapse. Potential applications in heliophysics and astrophysics are discussed.

A theoretical investigation is carried out to study the effect of a pencil electron beam propagating inside the plasma region determining the hydrodynamic densities distribution with the aid of numerical analysis finite deference method (FDM).The plasma is generated and trapped by annular electron beams of fixed electron density 1x1014 m-3. The result of the study shows that the hydrodynamic density behaves as the increase in pencil electron beam. The hydrodynamic density ratio goes to more than double as the increase in pencil electron beam density to 1x1018 m-3.

<p>Electron temperature anisotropy instabilities are believed to constrain the distributions of the electron parallel and perpendicular temperatures in the solar wind. When the electron perpendicular temperature is larger than the parallel temperature, the whistler instability is normally stronger than the electron mirror instability. While the electron parallel temperature is larger than the perpendicular temperature, the electron oblique firehose instability dominates the parallel firehose instability. Therefore, previous studies proposed the whistler and electron oblique firehose instabilities constraint on the electron dynamics in the solar wind. Based on the fact that there always exists the differential drift velocity among different electron populations, we consider the electron kinetic instability in the plasmas containing the electron anisotropic component and the electron beam component. Consequently, we give a comprehensive electron kinetic instability analysis in the solar wind. Furthermore, we propose that the electron acoustic/magneto-acoustic instability can arise in the low electron beta regime, and the whistler electron beam instability can be triggered in a wide beta regime. These two instabilities can provide a constraint on the electron beam velocity. Moreover, we find a new instability in the regime of the electron beta ~ 1, and this instability produces obliquely-propagating fast-magnetosonic/whistler waves. These results would be helpful for distinguishing the electron instability and for analyzing the constraint mechanism on the electron temperature distribution in the solar wind.</p>

The interaction of electron beams with a large variety of materials for information storage has been the subject of numerous proposals and studies in the recent literature. The materials range from photographic to thermoplastic and magnetic, and the interactions with the electron beam for writing and reading the information utilize the energy, or the current, or even the magnetic field associated with the electron beam.

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

Supershort Avalanche Electron Beam

AbstractThis paper reports on the properties of a supershort avalanche electron beam generated in the air or other gases under atmospheric pressure and gives the analysis of a generation mechanism of supershort avalanche electron beam, as well as methods of such electron beams registration. It is reported that in the air under the pressure of 1 atm, a supershort (<100 ps) avalanche electron beam is formed in the solid angle more than 2π steradian. The electron beam has been obtained behind a 45 µm thick Al-Be foil in SF6 and Xe under the pressure of 2 atm, and in He, under the pressure of about 15 atm. It is shown that in SF6 under the high pressure (>1 atm) duration (full width at half maximum) of supershort avalanche electron beam pulse is about 150 ps.
