Abstract

The Weibel instability plays an important role in stopping hot electrons and energy deposition mechanism in fast ignition of inertial fusion process. In this paper, the ionWeibel instability in counter propagating electron-ion plasmas is investigate. The obtained results show that the growth rate of Weibel instability will be decreased about 40% with the anisotropy velocity as vxe =2vze =20; the ion density ratio, b=n0i1/n0i2, and density gradient, are increasing 50 and 90% respectively. The ion streaming in density gradient of dense plasma leads to increasing theWeibel instability growth rate and its amplification through ion streaming in the large wavenumber. The maximum unstable wavenumber has been decreased with decreasing the ion beam density ratio. For fixed ion density ratio, increasing 90% of the density gradient in the near of fuel plasma corona leads to reducing growth rate and unstable wavenumber about 43 and 42% respectively.
