| two-stream instability | <radiobiology> Instability which can develop when a stream of particles of one type has a velocity distribution with its peak well separated from that of another type of particle through which it is flowing. A stream of energetic electrons passing through a cold plasma can, for example: excite ion waves which will grow rapidly in magnitude at the expense of the kinetic energy of the electrons.
