| contents | Two-stream instability (TSI) is studied analytically in the lunar plasma environment. The electrons in the solar wind constitute the electron-beam and the lunar electron plasma constitutes the background plasma with which the electron-beam interacts to trigger the TSI. The lunar plasma is considered to have a variable proportion of the energetic (hot) electrons, 1% to 25% of the total lunar electrons, along with the bulk thermal (cold) population. The analysis shows that the presence of energetic electrons in the lunar plasma environment modify the TSI dispersion relation and can have a significant impact on the triggering of TSI and are capable of triggering nonlinear phenomena by making the lunar plasma system unstable. |
