Abstract

Wave modes in a strongly magnetized pair plasma slab (beam) embedded in a pair plasma of different number density are considered for highly relativistic beam flow relative to the bounding plasma. Approximate analytical results are obtained and compared with numerical calculations and with the thin-beam approximation derived in Part 1 [J. Plasma Phys.62, 425–439 (1999)].
