Abstract
Comparable one-, two-, and three-dimensional simulations of electrostatic two-beam instabilities show major qualitative differences between one and two dimensions, and only small quantitative differences between two and three dimensions. In particular, the well-known persistence of vortex structure is lost in going from one dimension to two and three dimensions.Keywords
