Electrostatic and electromagnetic waves driven by current free electron beam instability: Effects of positron, background composition, and ion-to-electron mass ratio

Counterstreaming electron beams drifting along the magnetic field in electron–proton plasmas may lead to the generation of electrostatic (ES) waves and structures widely observed in planetary magnetospheres. In electron–positron plasmas, streaming electron/positron beams along the background magneti...
