Numerical Simulation of Ion Beam Acoustic Instability by Single Ion Beams
The broadband electrostatic noise has been observed in the boundary layer region of the earth's magnetosphere. These electrostatic waves were believed to be generated by drifting ion beams in the magnetotail. We have shown the numerical simulation result of ion beam acoustic instability in the...

| Summary: | The broadband electrostatic noise has been observed in the boundary layer region of the earth's magnetosphere. These electrostatic waves were believed to be generated by drifting ion beams in the magnetotail. We have shown the numerical simulation result of ion beam acoustic instability in the magnetotail. This instability heats both background and beam ion tin the boundary layer of neutral sheet observed by satellite. |
