Stabilization of drift-cyclotron loss-cone mode by low-frequency density fluctuations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Low-frequency (..omega.. very-much-less-than ..omega../sub ci/) density fluctuations (which may be produced by the drift-wave instability of the cold-ion species) can stabilize the drift-cyclotron loss-cone (DCLC) mode by scattering electrons and therby providing anomalous high-frequency resistivity to the DCLC mode.
