An intense X wave propagating perpendicularly to dc magnetic field is unstable with respect to a parametric decay into an electron Bernstein wave and a lower-hybrid wave. A modified theory of this effect is proposed that extends to the…
The lower hybrid wave trapping in a tokamak edge transport barrier is predicted. This effect makes possible excitation of the low-power-threshold absolute parametric decay instability leading to side-scattering of the ordinary microwave…
The three-dimensional instability of two coupled electromagnetic waves in an unmagnetized plasma is investigated theoretically and numerically. In the regime of two-plasmon decay, where one pump wave frequency is approximately twice the…
A kinetic formalism of parametric decay of a large amplitude lower hybrid pump wave into runaway electron mode and a uppersideband mode is investigated. The pump and the sideband exert a ponderomotive force on runaway electrons, driving the…
The ITG and TEM instabilities with quasi-coherent spectra have been identified experimentally, by the newly developed far-forward collective scattering measurements in J-TEXT tokamak Ohmical plasmas. The ITG mode has characteristic…
It is shown that a sub-luminal electromagnetic plasma wave, propagating in phase with a background sub-luminal gravitational wave in a dispersive medium, can undergo parametric amplification. For this phenomena to occur, the dispersive…
Recent gyrokinetic stability calculations have revealed that the spherical tokamak is susceptible to tearing parity instabilities with length scales of a few ion Larmor radii perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. Here we investigate…
Electron trapping in a finite amplitude Langmuir wave (LW) leads to a frequency shift, \Delta\omega_{TP} < 0, and reduced Landau damping. These may lead to modulational instability. Its growth rate and damping threshold, due to escape of…
Tokamak turbulence, driven by the ion-temperature gradient and occurring in the presence of flow shear, is investigated by means of local, ion-scale, electrostatic gyrokinetic simulations (with both kinetic ions and electrons) of the…
Novel mechanism leading to excitation of absolute two plasmon parametric decay instability (TPDI) of a pump extraordinary (X) wave is discussed. It is shown that the upper hybrid (UH) plasmon can be 3D trapped in the presence of both a…
The hybrid Stimulated Raman Scattering - Two Plasmon Decay instability had shown to play the dominant role for plasma waves excitation and energy absorption at interaction of very intense femtosecond obliquely incident $p$-polarized laser…
A two dimensional model is introduced to study pattern formation, secondary instabilities and the transition to spatiotemporal chaos (weak turbulence) in parametric surface waves. The stability of a periodic standing wave state above onset…
The effect on parametric instability growth of pump wave incoherence is treated by deriving a set of equations governing the space-time evolution of the ensemble-average coupled-mode amplitudes and intensities. Particular attention is paid…
Two-plasmon decay instability emerges as the parametric decay of laser beams into two plasma waves which is expected for hohlraum in inertial confinement fusion. The behavior of this instability in magnetized plasma is investigated in the…
The development of parametric instabilities in a large scale inhomogeneous plasma with an incident laser beam composed of multiple-frequency components is studied theoretically and numerically. Firstly, theoretical analyses of the coupling…
In continuation of previous work, numerical results are presented, concerning relativistically counter-streaming plasmas. Here, the relativistic mixed mode instability evolves through, and beyond, the linear saturation -- well into the…
Beams of energetic runaway electrons are generated during disruptions in tokamaks, and fluid models are used to study their effects on macroscale dynamics. Linear computations of a massless, runaway electron beam coupled to MHD plasma show…
The motion of an ion in a coherent lower hybrid wave (characterized by |k_parallel| << |k_perp| and omega >> Omega_i) in a tokamak plasma is studied. For ions satisfying v_perp > omega/k_perp, the Lorentz force law for the ions is reduced…
