Proton velocity ring-driven instabilities and their dependence on the ring speed: Linear theory 

Min, Kyungguk; Liu, Kaijun; Gary, S. Peter; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2020-05-28)
Linear dispersion theory is used to study the Alfven-cyclotron, mirror and ion Bernstein instabilities driven by a tenuous (1%) warm proton ring velocity distribution with a ring speed, v(r), varying between 2v(A) and ...
