44. See EPAPS Document No. E-PHPAEN-13-063611 for an animation of the time-evolution of the electron momentum distribution calculated by the one-dimensional PIC simulation. The animation demonstrates the predominantly electrostatic character of the initial beam-driven instability. This is, because electrons are accelerated mainly along the wavevector.
