Introduction and general overview. Aperiodic beam instabilities (theory). Oscillatory beam instabilities (theory). Beam instabilities as a result of active coupling between waves of different signs of energy. Electron, ion and plasma beams in laboratory plasma. Experimental data on instabilities and limiting currents of electron, ion and plasma beams. Mechanisms of current limitations (disruption) in beams. Acceleration and heating of plasma ions in a regime close to the limiting beam current. Instability of intense ion beam with neutralized space charge in magnetic field. Electric double layers in electron, ion and plasma beams and the mechanism of Aurora Borealis. Langmuir solitons in electron (plasma) beams. Novel methods of generation and amplification of electromagnetic waves by relativistic electron beams. Index.
Nezlin, M.V
"… a clear and concise description of the many instabilities which
exist in a beam in free propagation which casts new light on these
phenomena … written in a very clear style … highly interesting to
read … has a good bibliography … I strongly recommend this book as
a good purchase for anybody working in the area of beam
transport."
-Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
"… a beautifully organized and written book … a valuable resource-a
real physicist's book. … Nezlin's book is written for
experimentalists … just the right amount of detail … sufficient
physical insight … to understand and design experiments. … no one
else … could have produced such a knowledgeable treatise. If any
researcher wants to do experiments with beams in plasmas, this book
would be the ideal start."
-Professor F.F. Chen, UCLA
