the growth of Alfvén waves when cosmic rays stream faster than the Alfvén speed, which scatters the particles and limits their drift.

In astrophysics, cosmic-ray streaming instability refers to the growth of Alfvén waves when cosmic rays stream faster than the Alfvén speed, which scatters the particles and limits their drift. This meaning comes from Kulsrud (1969) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
