The Effect of the Parametric Decay Instability on the Morphology of Coronal Type III Radio Bursts
status: published
status: published
Parametric instabilities of Alfven-ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves and the turbulence driven by them are investigated using a particle-in-cell simulation technique. By introducing anisotropic ion temperature, a broad spectrum of AIC wave is excited. In addition to the normal AIC waves, their harmonic modes and upper sideband modes are found. Through the ...
