An experimental investigation of the Buneman instability

<p>The Plasma Betatron, a toroidal turbulent heating device, is modified so that a short (200 nsec duration) electric field pulse (maximum strength 650 V/m) is applied to accelerate electrons to a drift velocity v<sub>D</sub> much larger than the initial thermal velocity V<sub&g...
