This study considers the instabilities that result when an
electron beam is injected into a plasma. A number of different
models of the system are considered, and all instabilities are
classified according to whether they are convective instabilities
(amplifying waves) or nonconvective (absolute) instabilities. The
study also analyzes the instabilities in unbounded beam-plasma
systems and in systems of finite extent transverse to the electron
stream and gives a detailed consideration of the possibility of a
strong interaction with the ions in a hot-electron plasma. In
addition, the author presents mathematical criteria for identifying
absolute instabilities and amplifying waves. These criteria are
based only on an analysis of the dispersion equation of the system
and are not restricted to beam-plasma systems.Two things need to be
said about this book: the chapter on absolute and convective
instabilities makes an important contribution to the field. Second,
it should be pointed out that the theoretical results are reduced
to a form which make them readily available to an experimentalist.
Plasma physicists and electronic engineers will be interested in
this work.
