It is shown that a constant external magnetic field, generally speaking, is not able to prevent breaking (loss of smoothness) of relativistic plasma oscillations, even if they are arbitrarily small perturbations of the zero steady-state.…
In order to understand the conditions which lead a highly magnetized, relativistic plasma to become unstable, and in such cases how the plasma evolves, we study a prototypical class of magnetostatic equilibria where the magnetic field…
