Abstract
Electron acoustic waves present in a two temperature electron plasma can be driven unstable when ion beams propagate along the magnetic field. Both linear theory and numerical simulations indicate that this instability contributes to the generation of broadband electrostatic noise (BEN) in the geomagnetic tail.Keywords
