Simulations

• We developed a 1-D, electrostatic, quasilinear simulation code for the injection and propagation of multiple electron beams, as well as the generation of Langmuir waves. Simulations show that multiple beams can enhance or suppress the waves [Li et al., 2002].
• Extensions of the code to include electrostatic and electromagnetic nonlinear processes, and the effects of background density turbulence, are proceeding.
