Abstract
The growth and nonlinear evolution of the modified Simon–Hoh instability (MSHI) is observed in a weak electron beam-produced collisionless cylindrical plasma, in which electrons are strongly magnetized and the ions are essentially unmagnetized. The evolution of this instability occurs through a sequence of sideband instabilities, thought to be induced by trapped ions, and a period doubling sequence. Transient study of the MSHI reveals that the growth rate of the MSHI is extremely rapid; of the order the instability frequency.
