Abstract

The harmonic oscillating two-stream instability is a four-wave process which arises when a finite amplitude wave field with frequency ω0 destabilizes waves at harmonics of ω0. The importance of the instability arises in its ability to transfer wave energy from slow electrostatic waves near the lower-hybrid frequency to waves at higher frequencies. The harmonic oscillating two-stream instability could alleviate the condensation problem which has arisen in recent cascade theories.
