Growth rate Γ of filamentations parallel to plasma bulk velocity Vs. Effects of the plasma–ion–beam interaction (+), the plasma–electron–beam (×), and the plasma–plasma interaction Γ (*) were compared. The upper group data represent for the plasma–plasma interaction with Vs = 1000 km/s, while the lower group for the interaction with Vs = 650 km/s.
