Ion temperature gradient driven drift cyclotron instabilities

;
The role of ion temperature gradient driven drift cyclotron instabilities in both mirror machines and tokamaks is examined. For a completely filled loss cone, reversed temperature and density gradients are necessary for instabilities; however, this inverted profile requirement is relaxed as the fill of the loss cone is decreased and all profiles are unstable for an empty loss cone.
