ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITS ON THE NONRESONANT COSMIC-RAY CURRENT-DRIVEN INSTABILITY
We investigate the so-called nonresonant cosmic-ray streaming instability, first discussed by Bell (2004). The extent to which thermal damping and ion-neutral collisions reduce the growth of this instability is calculated. Limits on the growth of the nonresonant mode in SN1006 and RX J1713.7-3946 ar...
