Scalings for the Alfvén-cyclotron instability in a bi-kappa plasma
The particle velocity distribution in space plasma usually exhibits a non-Maxwellian high-energy tail that can be well modeled by kappa distributions. In this study, we focus on the growth rates of the Alfvén-cyclotron instability driven by ion temperature anisotropy in a kappa plasma. By solving th...
