Abstract

This paper considers electrostatic waves in a Vlasov plasma of unmagnetized ions and magnetized electrons undergoing E x B and gradient B drifts. The linear dispersion relation is solved numerically for Te & Ti. The results show that, as in the Te <Ti case, increasing electron β decreases the maximum growth rates.
