On the Cover

Polar diagram of instability locations in wave vector space for a plasma lattice penetrated by a charged particle beam, for four different beam velocities. The blue lines are longitudinal instabilities, with orange-red for transverse. The instabilities pass through shaded areas denoting gaps (longitudinal blue, transverse pink) where no instability can develop.
