Particle-in-cell simulations of the beam-plasma instability confirm that the behavior of the interaction can be described as a wave packet that continually grows in both space and time. A consequence is that the energy deposition length of the instability becomes shorter in time, offering increased potential for this interaction to be used as an inertial fusion driver.
