摘要
This paper presents the effects of electron-positron pair production on the linear growth of the resistive hose instability of a filamentary beam that could lead to snake-like distortion. For both the rectangular radial density profile and the diffuse profile reflecting the Bennett-type equilibrium for a self-collimating flow, the modified eigenvalue equations are derived from a Vlasov-Maxwell equation. While for the simple rectangular profile, current perturbation is localized at the sharp radial edge, for the realistic Bennett profile with an obscure edge, it is non-locally distributed over the entire beam, removing catastrophic wave-particle resonance. The pair production effects likely decrease the betatron frequency, and expand the beam radius to increase the resistive decay time of the perturbed current; these also lead to a reduction of the growth rate. It is shown that, for the Bennett profile case, the characteristic growth distance for a preferential mode can exceed the observational length-scale of astrophysical jets. This might provide the key to the problem of the stabilized transport of the astrophysical jets including extragalactic jets up to Mpc (similar to 3 x 10(24) cm) scales.
