Stochastic growth theory describes situations in which an unstable distribution of particles interacts self-consistently with its driven waves in an inhomogeneous plasma environment and evolves to a state in which (1) the particle distribution fluctuates stochastically about a state close to time- and volume-averaged marginal stability, and (2) the fluctuations in the distribution drive waves so that the wave gain...
