Hydrodynamic ion sound instability in systems of a finite length

POSTER

Abstract

Plasmas permeated by an energetic ion beam is prone to the kinetic ion-sound instability that occurs as a result of the inverse Landau damping for ion velocity. It is shown here that in a finite length system there exists another type of the ion sound instability which occurs for $% v_{0}^{2}
