Two-stream instability
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Two-stream_instability
The two-stream instability is a very common instability in plasma physics. It can be induced by an energetic particle stream injected in a plasma, or setting a current along the plasma so different species (ions and electrons) can have different drift velocities. The energy from the particles can lead to plasma wave excitation. Two-stream instability can arise from the case of two cold beams, in which no particles are resonant with the wave, or from two hot beams, in which there exist particles from one or both beams which are resonant with the wave.

Two-stream instability is known in various limiting cases as beam-plasma instability, beam instability, or bump-on-tail instability.
