Abstract

The instabilities of a cold-cathode reflex discharge are studied and their relationship to the observed increase in radial transport above a critical magnetic field is discussed. High-frequency beam-plasma instabilities occurring in bursts, owing to a relaxation phenomenon, and low-frequency resistive drift waves are both found, with the latter appearing to have an important role in transport.
