Numerical investigation of kinetic instabilities in BGK equilibria under collisional effects
Sofia Zanelli, Gabriele Celebre, Sergio Servidio +1
An unstable one-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) mode has been studied through high-precision numerical simulations. The initial turbulent, periodic equilibrium state is…
Flat-top electron velocity distributions driven by wave-particle resonant interactions
Sofia Zanelli, Silvia Perri, Martina Condoluci +6
The role of kinetic electrons in the excitation and sustainment of ion-bulk electrostatic waves in collisionless plasmas is investigated, with a focus on the physical mechanisms re…
On the decay instability of electron acoustic waves
F. Valentini, T. M. O'Neil, D. H. Dubin
Electron acoustic waves (EAWs) are nonlinear plasma modes characterized by electron trapping, which suppresses the usual Landau damping. Despite being predicted in the 1990s, their…
