Unstable electromagnetic modes in magnetized Maxwellian plasma    [PDF]

S. Son, Sung Joon Moon

The electromagnetic modes that can be unstable even in a magnetized Maxwellian plasma is studied. The free energy involved in the instability is originated from the gyro-motion. The regime where the radiation via this instability stands out compared to the electron cyclotron radiation is explored. These modes are relevant with the inertial confinement fusion and the gamma ray burst.
