摘要
A systematic study on the Weibel instability induced filamentation of a relativistic electron beam is made by including the effects of collisions and temperature. The stabilization and de-stabilization of the beam filamentation due to beam temperature and plasma collisions, respectively, is explored through an analytical model and PIC simulations. The de-stabilization of the beam filamentation is attributed to the collision driven negative energy wave generation in the beam plasma system.
