Simulations clarify the mechanism of coupled plasma fluctuations

Distribution function of energetic particles and time evolution of frequency spectrum of fluctuations. Initially, the energetic particle distribution function is mountain-like. Its slope increases in the region of the first fluctuation and as the shape of the mountain changes, the
