Current-driven turbulence caused by the emission of fast electrons in an inhomogeneous plasma in an intense electromagnetic field
Karfidov D. M., Lukina N. A., Sergeichev K. F.
It has been shown experimentally that the emission of currents of fast electrons from a critical sheath in a plasma under the influence of an intense electromagnetic field occurs against the background of a current-driven turbulence of the plasma. This turbulence may be responsible, along with a modulational instability, for the transfer of energy from the electromagnetic field to fast electrons.
