Scientific paper

The filamentation instability of finite amplitude left-hand circularly polarized Alfven waves has been investigated taking into account the second-order density and magnetic field perturbations that are created by the Alfven wave pressure. The minimum scale length and time over which the filamentation occurs, are found. These results are applied to Alfven waves that should scatter cosmic rays in the interstellar medium.
