Abstract: One of the varieties of firehose instability is considered, the cause of which is not the temperature anisotropy of plasma particles, but the dynamic pressure of the beam. It is shown that such a generation mechanism can lead to an effective increase of a low- frequency perturbations not only of the Alfven type, but also of the magnetosonic type, and also lead to an instability not only in the finite and high-pressure plasma but also in a low-pressure plasma. The characteristics of magnetosonic waves that are generated during the development of instability are investigated. The growth rate, the maximum angle of inclination of the wave vector, the propagation velocity of the perturbations, and the criterion for the development of instability are found. The influence of the beam temperature on the characteristics of the generated perturbations is studied. As an example of the development of such an instability, the process of formation of the turbulent region in front of the shock wave of the Earth, as well as before the shock wave from the supernova, is analyzed. |
