plasmas is modeled by the kinetic theory. The set of Vlasov–Poisson equation is solved and decomposed by the Laguerre–Gaussian function
under paraxial approximation. The beam plasma expedites unstable twisted modes (UTMs) in the TIE plasma. The UTM or instability
is calibrated via axial and azimuthal wave numbers, wind speed, and its growth essence. The qualitative and quantitative anatomy of the
instability threshold is also predicted. Our model is eminently applicable to the space plasmas and has been applied to the Ar+ –F− –SF6− and
Xe +–F−–SF6− electron plasmas, specifically.

The Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) mode function is applied for the modeling of the non-Maxwellian twisted dielectric function to study the Landau wave-particle interaction in electron plasma system. In the last sention, some numercial results are also presented using appropriate parameters of electron plasma waves.

The characteristic parameter of orbital angular momentum appears due to presence of helical electric field. The propagation of twisted waves is predominantly defined by the longitudinal and azimuthal wave numbers for the unmagnetized case. The longitudinal wave number reflects the variation in the spatial symmetry while the varying phase of non-planar helical wave fronts is shown by the azimuthal wave number.

It is found that the damping rate of ion acoustic wave is increased with the decrease of kappa (i.e., the spectral index of Lorentzian distribution) value. The damping rates of the electrostatic wave in multi-ion component plasmas are discussed in detail which depends on electron to ion temperature ratio and ions masses and density ratios. The numerical results are also shown by choosing some typical experimental parameters of multi-ion plasmas. V

The instability threshold is affected when such (quasineutral) plasma permeates through another static plasma. Such case is of interest when the solar wind is streaming through the cometary plasma in the presence of interstellar dust. In the limits of phase velocity of the waves larger and smaller than the thermal velocity of dust particles, the dispersion properties and growth rate of dust-acoustic mode are investigated analytically with validation via numerical analysis.

The growth rates are computed with respect to the variation in spectral index of the kappa or generalized Lorentzian distribution and streaming velocity of the solar wind. It is found that the growth rate increases with the decrease of spectral index and increases with the streaming velocity of the solar wind. The numerical results are also presented by choosing some suitable parameters.
