Inability of electron trapping to stabilize the ion acoustic instability
The Physics of Fluids1973Vol. 16(6), pp. 945–946
Abstract
It is shown that electron trapping does not stabilize the ion acoustic instability in an unmagnetized two- or three-dimensional plasma. Specifically, it is shown that for nearly all resonant particles, the correlation time is much less than the trapping time.
