Abstract
Multistream instabilities of crossed electron beams in a plasma are investi gated analytically. By using successively more complicated models, the inst ability of a finite number of crossed monoenergetic beams and the instabili ty of an infinite number of crossed monoenergetic beams with different dist ributions in the azimuthal angle are studied. The conclusion is drawn that an isotropic plasma is unstable against the excitation of longitudinal wave s. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica" .
