Abstract: The abundant reports on the existence of electromagnetic high-frequency fluctuations in space plasmas have increased the expectations that theoretical modeling may help understand their origins and implications (e.g., kinetic instabilities and dissipation). This paper presents… read more here.

Abstract: Linear plasma kinetic theory for a non-thermal, magnetized, homogeneous, and collisionless plasma is incorporated to study Alfvén cyclotron instability (ACI) driven by the ion/proton perpendicular temperature anisotropy (T⊥p/T∥p>1) (⊥, ∥ symbols designate directions perpendicular and parallel… read more here.
