Ay. Romanov et al., WEIBEL INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH INVERSE BREMSSTRAHLUNG ABSORPTION OF INTENSE ELECTROMAGNETIC-RADIATION, Journal of experimental and theoretical physics, 84(4), 1997, pp. 687-693
We investigate the Weibel instability in a plasma with a nonstationary
three-temperature electron distribution generated by inverse bremsstr
ahlung of an intense elliptically polarized electromagnetic wave. We s
how that electron-ion collisions in this strong high frequency field a
re simultaneously the cause of the development of the instability and
the reason it is suppressed. We find plasma and radiation parameters f
or which spontaneous quasistationary solenoidal electromagnetic fields
can increase by many times. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
