Abstract

The theory of particle aspect analysis is extended to a drift wave in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field and an applied electric field parallel to the ambient magnetic field. The effect of a parallel electric field is included in the zeroth-order distribution function through modification of the particle thermal velocity in that direction. The plasma under consideration is assumed to be anisotropic and with low β. The dispersion relation and growth rate are evaluated and discussed for particular plasma parameters. The limitations of the theory are also pointed out.
