On a new process for cusp irregularity production [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 Two plasma instability mechanisms were thought until 2007 to dominate the formation of plasma irregularities in the F region high latitude and polar ionosphere; the gradient-drift driven instability, and the velocity-shear driven instability.

Theory and Simulation of Broadband Electrostatic Noise in the Magnetotail [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1994 Various plasma instabilities driven by the ion beams have been proposed in order to explain the broadband electrostatic noise (BEN) in the earth's geomagnetic tail. Ion acoustic, ion-ion two stream, and electron acoustic instabilities have been proposed.

Interaction of ultra relativistic fireball beam with plasma
New Journal of Physics, 2020 Ab initio simulations of the propagation in a plasma of a soon to be available relativistic electron–positron beam or fireball beam provide an effective mean for the study of microphysics relevant to astrophysical scenarios.

Instability in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on S3 at finite density
Nuclear Physics BHomogeneous and isotropic equilibrium states of strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills charged plasma in R3 with equal chemical potentials for the maximal Abelian subgroup of the R-symmetry group become dynamically unstable below some critical ...

On MHD waves, fire-hose and mirror instabilities in anisotropic plasmas [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2007 Temperature or pressure anisotropies are characteristic of space plasmas, standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model for describing large-scale plasma phenomena however usually assumes isotropic pressure. In this paper we examine the characteristics of MHD

Pressure anisotropy-driven instabilities regulate the jovian magnetodisk
Nature CommunicationsJupiter’s magnetosphere is often presented as a template for fast-rotating magnetospheres. Distinct from Earth-like, solar wind-driven magnetospheres, it contains an extended magnetodisk encircling the planet.

Plasma Physics and Controlled FusionAbstract An introductory tutorial on plasma stability theory is presented, focussing on application of the normal mode method to the linearised form of the magnetohydrodynamic, Vlasov and Maxwell equations. Following an illustration of how this method can be applied to a simple mechanical problem, single-fluid stability theory is ...
