Nuclear Burst Induced Shock Wave Modeling of Energetic Electron Injection into the Magnetosphere: Eigenmode Description of the Hot Ion Cyclotron Beam-Whistler Mode Instability in Parallel Shock Waves.

摘要

The local linear dispersion relation for the hot ion cyclotron beam--whistler mode instability near the leading edge of parallel shock waves is generalized into a WKB eigenvalue problem. Its solution reveals the existence of stationary eigen growth modes capable of generating turbulence in the leading edge region. (Author)
