Electron-ion collisional effect on Weibel instability in a Kappa distributed unmagnetized plasma
2014
Physics of Plasmas
Preserved Fulltext
Weibel instability has been investigated in the presence of electron-ion collisions by using standard Vlasov-Maxwell equations. The presence of suprathermal electrons has been included here by using Kappa distribution for the particles. The growth rate c of Weibel instability has been calculated for different values of spectral index j, collision frequency ei , and temperature anisotropy parameter b.
