The attenuation of TeV γ-rays from distant blazars by the extragalactic background light produces collimated relativistic electron–positron pair beams. The pair beams traversing the intergalactic medium are unstable to linear two-stream instabilities of both electrostatic and electromagnetic nature. We investigate the case of weak blazars where the back reaction of generated electrostatic turbulen...
