Note on quantitatively correct simulations of the kinetic beam-plasma instability

arXiv:1410.5617 · doi:10.1063/1.4907223

Abstract

A large number of model particles is shown necessary for quantitatively correct simulations of the kinetic beam-plasma instability with the clouds-in-cells method. The required number of particles scales inversely with the expected growth rate, as in the kinetic regime only a narrow interval of beam velocities is resonant with the wave.
