Nonlinear effects of beam-plasma instabilities on neutralized propagation of intense ion beams in background plasma

The streaming of an intense ion beam relative to the background plasma can cause the development of fast electrostatic collective instabilities. In this paper we examine numerically the defocusing effects of two-stream instability on the ion beam propagating in neutralizing background plasma. The sc...
