Computer Simulation of the Diocotron Instability
Abstract
A particle simulation study demonstrates that an initial-value analysis is essential in understanding the early-time growth of diocotron modes. It is also demonstrated that the equilibrium properties of a rigid rotor (including rotation on both the high and the low frequency branches) are well described by particle simulation.
