Title :
Growth of Harmonic Perturbations of an Electron Shell Orbiting a Positively-Charged Wire (Orbitron)
Abstract :
The negative-mass instability of a cylindrical shell of electrons orbiting a positively-charged wire was studied. The harmonics of the orbital frequency are found to grow faster than the fundamental, with a growth constant proportional to the square root of the harmonic number.
