Description
I will present some recent analytical and numerical results on the current filamentation instability/Weibel instability, with a focus on conditions relevant for planned/future experiments with relativistic beams. Results on the long time behavior of the instability will also be discussed with a focus on observables (such as beam/cloud slowdown) and expected magnetization. Astrophysical scenarios where these findings can be of relevance will also be discussed.
