a non-resonant plasma instability in which cosmic-ray currents ahead of a shock amplify the magnetic field far beyond its ambient value.

In astrophysics, Bell instability refers to a non-resonant plasma instability in which cosmic-ray currents ahead of a shock amplify the magnetic field far beyond its ambient value. This meaning comes from Bell (2004) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
