Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Paul M. Bellan | Summary: The two-stream instability (Buneman instability) is traditionally derived as a collisionless instability with the presumption that collisions inhibit this instability. We show here via a combination of a collisional two-fluid model and associated experimental observations made in the Caltech plasma […]
