Excitation Of Cyclotron Electromagnetic Waves In A Magnetoactive Plasma By A Stream Of Charged Particles, Including Temperature Effects In The Stream

Abstract

The dispersion equation for cyclotron electromagnetic waves in a system comprising a charged particle stream injected at an angle to the static magnetic field of a magnetoactive plasma is derived for a general wave·normal angle () when the temperature of the stream has been taken into account. The expression for the growth rate is derived in general for all cyclotron waves.
