Description:
Xinliang Gao, Quanming Lu, Xin Tao, Yufei Hao, and Shui Wang Alfven waves with a finite amplitude are found to be unstable to a parametric decay in low beta plasmas. In this paper, the parametric decay of a circularly polarized Alfven wave in a proton-electron-alpha plasma system is investigated with one-dimensional (1-D) hybrid simulations. In cases without ...
