Abstract

Parametric excitation of the magnetostatic mode by finite-amplitude drift waves is considered. Both decay and modulational instabilities are analyzed. Expressions for the growth rates are obtained analytically. Application of our results to electron cross-field diffusion in tokamak devices is also discussed.
