Extract

A non-local theory of whistler and quasi-static mode excitation by an annular electron beam in a plasma cylinder is presented. Čerenkov and slow-cyclotron interaction are considered in the weak-beam approximation. The growth rate is found to be quite sensitive to the beam radius except in the case of slow-cyclotron interaction of quasi-static modes. The growth rate varies significantly with beam velocity in the case of Čerenkov interaction of quasi-static modes, but in other cases it is rather insensitive to the beam velocity.
