Abstract

We consider the propagation of a large-amplitude lower-hybrid wave. Modulational instabilities arising from its interaction with low-frequency electrostatic perturbations are investigated. The growth lengths of the convective instabilities are obtained and compared with previous results for adiabatic perturbations.
