| Abstract: | The nature of the normal mode instability of a plasma interacting with an electron beam [1] is studied. Dispersion equations of this type also occur for a whole series of physical phenomena. The velocities at which the initially localized disturbance propagates in an infinite system are determined. It is shown that the system is globally unstable [2].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 127–132, July–August, 1977.In conclusion, the author thanks A. G. Kulikovskii and A. A. Barmin for valuable advice and their interest in the work. |
