Drift kinetic Alfvén wave in temperature anisotropic plasma
- Salam Chair in Physics, G. C. University Lahore, Katchery Road, Lahore 54000 (Pakistan)
By using the gyrokinetic theory, the kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) are discussed to emphasize the drift effects through the density inhomogeneity and the temperature anisotropy on their dispersion characteristics. The dependence of stabilization mechanism of the drift-Alfvén wave instability on the temperature anisotropy is highlighted. The estimate of the growth rate and the threshold condition for a wide range of parameters are also discussed.
