We analyze the problem of the beam-plasma instability via the analytical treatment of the so-called Dyson equation. We first compared the prediction of the model constructed by fixing the electric-field amplitude with respect to a N-body Hamiltonian numerical simulation. Then, we demonstrate that the shortcomings of such an analytical formulation must be essentially identified with the breaking-down of the self-consistent evolution of the field and the particle distribution function.
