Quasi electrostatic fluctuations in the upper-hybrid frequency range are commonly detected in the planetary magnetospheric environment. The origin of such phenomena may relate to the instability driven by a loss-cone feature associated with the electrons populating the dipole-like magnetic field. The present paper carries out a one-dimensional electrostatic particle-in-cell simulation accompanied by a reduced quasilinear kinetic theoretical analysis to investigate the dynamics of the upper-hybrid mode instability driven by an initial ring electron distribution function, which is a form of loss-cone distribution. A favorable comparison is found between the two approaches, which shows that the reduced quasilinear theory, which is grounded in the concept of a model of the particle distribution function that is assumed to maintain a fixed mathematical form except that the macroscopic parameters that define the distribution are allowed to evolve in time, can be an effective tool in the study of plasma instabilities, especially if it is guided by and validated against the more rigorous simulation result.
