Nonlinear kinetic regime of the Weibel instability in an electron–ion plasma

Nonlinear kinetic regime of the Weibel instability in an electron–ion plasma

Kinetic numerical simulations of the evolution of the Weibel instability during the full nonlinear regime including ions dynamics are presented. The formation of strong density inhomogeneity and its influence on the resulting electrostatic and electromagnetic wave modes are shown.
