Linear and nonlinear interactions of an electron beam with oblique whistler and electrostatic waves in the magnetosphere

The authors study the interactions between an electron beam and whistler, electrostatic, and quasi-upper hybrid waves in a model cold magnetosphere. Their analyses are done both in a linear and nonlinear manner, and look at the growth rate of instabilities as a function of the angle between the wave and electron beam. The growth rates and dominance of different instabilities is a strong function of the angle between the wave and beam.
