Abstract

MATLAB solver for general dispersion relation has been developed to study local instabilities in partially magnetized plasmas typical for ExB discharges. Several examples of the Simon-Hoh, lower-hybrid and ion-sound instabilities with the parameters typical for Penning discharge are shown. This solver allows parametrically investigate the local dispersion relation for the wide range of plasma parameters and prepare reports.
