Contribution to the theory of the magnetic instability of a laser plasma

It is shown that correct allowance for thermal diffusion changes the character of the excitation of the magnetic fields in a one-dimensionally inhomogeneous plasma; namely, the instability turns out to be convective and not absolute, while the magnitude of the excited fields is determined entirely by the density and temperature profiles of the plasma.
