Abstract

In a plasma in which both the ions and electrons are magnetized we investigate low-frequency electrostatic instabilities driven by an anisotropic ion beam drifting parallel to the external magnetic field. The instability spectrum is found to be dominated by the ion-acoustic and ion-ion two-stream instabilities. Detailed comparisons are made with the isotropie case.
