Title: Physical mechanism of wave-particle resonances in a curved magnetic field. Memorandum report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5543342

The physical mechanism of wave-particle resonances in a curved magnetic field is investigated. Specifically, the energy exchange process between a wave and resonant curvature drifting particles is discussed. A general expression for the wave damping/growth rate is derived based upon physical arguments. The theory is applied to the lower-hybrid-drift instability and nonlinear consequences are discussed.
