Abstract
Previous calculations of hole growth in a one‐dimensional electron–ion plasma are extended to a greater range of parameter space including the region around linear instability. The effect of the ion‐acoustic resonance on hole growth is analyzed and the relationship to linear instability is discussed. Agreement with computer simulations is much improved. Energy and momentum conservation are discussed and proved for both holes and waves.Keywords
