Abstract:
The $Q$, $G$ method for studying non-stationary processes in collisionless plasma with relativistic particles has been developed. Analytical expressions for the particles density and current in a slightly perturbed electric field are obtained. Based on the obtained expressions, a theory of stability of a relativistic Boursian diode stationary states in the absence of electron reflection from potential barriers is constructed.
