Effect of magnetic field errors on low‐frequency waves in a pure electron plasma

It is demonstrated how static magnetic field errors can resonantly drive low‐frequency electrostatic waves in a pure electron plasma column. The driving mechanism is identified as a charge bunching that results from the field error. It is found that the wave amplitude increases linearly with time.
