✦ Synopsis

The development of Buneman kinetic instability in plasma with hot electrons and cold ions is investigated in the quasilinear approximation at current velocites close to the instability threshold values. It is shown that the contribution of electron's dielectric permeability in the dispersion equation is negligible and that quasilinear theory has in general stabilizing effect.
