Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the instability of electrostatic twisted modes carrying orbital angular momentum in the moving electron–positron–ion plasma is investigated. In the kinetic theory approach, the general dispersion relation of twisted modes is derived by using Laguerre–Gaussian perturbed distribution function and electrostatic potential in the paraxial limit. Utilizing the obtained general dispersion relation for a specific case of electron–positron (e–p) shell with temperature anisotropy interacted with moving ion background, the effects of angular mode number, electrons and positrons temperature, and positron concentration on the group velocity and instability growth rate of twisted waves are illustrated, numerically. The results of the present investigation will greatly attribute to the understanding of e–p jet dynamic in astrophysical environments and laboratory experiments where the twisted modes can play a central role as a perturbed term.
