الوصف: The two-plasmon-decay instability (TPD) is a critical target preheating risk in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. In this paper, TPD collectively driven by a normal-incidence laser beam (Beam-N) and a large-angle-incidence laser beam (Beam-L) is investigated via particle-in-cell simulations. Significant TPD growth is found able to develop in this regime at previously unexpected low laser intensities if the intensity of Beam-L exceeds the large-angle-incidence threshold. Both beams contribute to the growth of TPD in a "seed-amplification" manner where the absolute instability driven by Beam-L provides the seeds that get convectively amplified by Beam-N, making TPD energetically important and causing significant pump depletion and hot electron generation.
