Editing Particle beam (section)

===Astrophysics and space physics===
Many phenomena in astrophysics are attributed to particle beams of various kinds.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=[[Anthony Peratt]] |title= The role of particle beams and electrical currents in the plasma universe |journal=Laser and Particle Beams |date=1988 |volume=6 |issue= 3 |pages=471–491 |doi= 10.1017/S0263034600005401 |bibcode= 1988LPB.....6..471P |url=https://plasmacosmology.info/downloads/Peratt_RolePartBeams.pdf |access-date=26 January 2023}}</ref> Solar Type III radio bursts, the most common impulsive radio signatures from the Sun, are used by scientists as a tool to better understand solar accelerated electron beams.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Reid |first1=Hamish Andrew Sinclair |last2=Ratcliffe |first2=Heather |title=A review of solar type III radio bursts |journal=Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics |date=July 2014 |volume=14 |issue=7 |pages=773–804 |doi=10.1088/1674-4527/14/7/003 |arxiv=1404.6117 |bibcode=2014RAA....14..773R |s2cid=118446359 |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1674-4527/14/7/003 |issn=1674-4527}}</ref> Additionally, particle beams cause [[Hydrodynamic stability|instabilities]] when interacting with plasma, which may lead to conditions causing [[Electrostatic solitary wave|electrostatic solitary waves]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Omura |first=Y. |last2=Matsumoto |first2=H. |last3=Miyake |first3=T. |last4=Kojima |first4=H. |date=February 1996 |title=Electron beam instabilities as generation mechanism of electrostatic solitary waves in the magnetotail |url=https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/95JA03145 |journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics |language=en |volume=101 |issue=A2 |pages=2685–2697 |doi=10.1029/95JA03145 |issn=0148-0227|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
