Ion resonance instability in the Eltrap electron plasma
Giovanni Bettega, Francesco Cavaliere, Marco Cavenago +3
A small fraction of ions can destabilize the diocotron mode (off axis rotation) of an electron plasma confined in a Malmberg-Penning trap. In this paper a set of experimental measu…

Coherent structures in an electron beam
Andrea Illiberi, Giovanni Bettega, Marco Cavenago +4
The formation and evolution of coherent structures in a low-energy electron beam produced in a Malmberg-Penning trap is investigated by means of CCD diagnostics. The electrons are…

Three-dimensional PIC simulation of electron plasmas
Massimiliano Rome, Roberto Pozzoli, Mauro Pravettoni +1
The three-dimensional evolution of a pure electron plasma is studied by means of a particle-in-cell code which solves the drift-Poisson system where kinetic effects in the motion p…
