Linear and Nonlinear Electron Beam Heating of Magnetized, Motional, and Dusty Plasma

Abstract

Recent theoretical work on electron beam heating of magneto-active motional Plasma is presented. Power transfer from beam (plasma heating) and generated electric fields for different physical situations of linear and nonlinear beam-plasma interaction, are studied. Based on previous works [1] [2], we shall study the effects of dusts and plasma motion ( ) on plasma heating. Besides, the case of an inhomogeneity of beam velocity ( ) is also considered. Taking into consideration nonlinear process, dust, plasma motion, and beam velocity inhomogeneity, are found to play a crucial role via power absorbed by the beam and the generated electric field in the system.
