Kinetic Alfvén Waves Excited by Multiple Free Energy Sources in the Magnetotail
The generation of kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) is investigated through a three-component theoretical model incorporating ion beam and velocity shear as the sources of free energy in a non-Maxwellian κ -distributed plasmas. The model considers Maxwellian distributed background ions, drifting-Maxwellia...
