Microstructure formation in radially counterstreaming electron flows

Microstructure formation in radially counterstreaming electron flows

A theoretical model is developed to describe the formation of microstructures due to plasma streaming instabilities in radially convergent geometries. Microstructures in the form of radial spokes are found experimentally in laser wakefield accelerators. The eigenvalues of a set of coupled linear ord...
