Whistler instability in a magnetospheric duct
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
A whistler wave propagating through a preformed magnetospheric duct is susceptible to growth/amplification by an electron beam. The interaction is non-local and could be of Čerenkov or slow-cyclotron type. First-order perturbation theory is employed to obtain the growth rate for flat and Gaussian beam densities.
