Abstract
A modified low-frequency electrostatic instability is found for the Bennett equilibrium. The instability is of the ion-acoustic type and is primarily driven by the equilibrium electron drift. For large wavelengths the ion betatron motion has a stabilizing influence and causes a significant shift in the real frequency. A simplified dispersion relation is obtained from general non-local kinetic stability analysis. Both numerical and analytic results are presented.
