On the Filamentation Instability in Degenerate Relativistic Plasmas
arXiv:1811.03610 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2018.12.030
Abstract
The filamentation instability of the electromagnetic (EM) beam in an underdense plasma with high level of degeneracy is examined by means of the momentum equation, continuity equation and Maxwell's equations. It has been demonstrated that the instability develops for weakly as well as strongly relativistic degenerate plasma and arbitrary strong amplitude of EM beams.
