Space-time evolution of a beam-plasma instability in strongly correlated plasmas

Z. C. Tao, A. K. Ram, A. Bers, G. Kalman

Abstract

We examine the interaction of an electron beam penetrating a strongly correlated plasma. Conditions are established for this unstable interaction to lead to an absolute instability. We propose the absolute instability as a means for probing the strongly correlated plasmas.
