Annotation

The question about wave excitation in a one-dimensional relativistic plasma by a low density electron beam with low thermal scattering of the particles is investigated. The increment of excitation of plasma waves is found for frequencies similar to a low-frequency intrinsic mode. The influence of thermal scatter of the beam electrons on the frequency of oscillations and the increment in instability of the excited wave is analyzed.
