Quasi-linear dynamics of Weibel instability

The quasi-linear dynamics of resonant Weibel mode is discussed. It is found that nonlinear saturation of Weibel mode is accompanied by substantial modification of the distribution function in resonant region. With the growth of the wave amplitude the parabolic bell-like form of the electron distr...
