Ion Acceleration Mechanism in Current Layer in Case Where Instability Develops,

Abstract

In experiments on nonstationary plasma acceleration it was established that under certain conditions behind the current front turbulent processes develop which lead to high-frequency oscillations, anomalous plasma resistance, and the appearance of fast particles whose energy greatly exceeds the applied potential difference. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the current instabilities which develop when a plasma is accelerated.
