Effect of general loss-cone distribution function on the shear-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability

The shear-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability (EICI) is studied using the loss-cone distribution function by particle aspect analysis. The effect of the loss-cone distribution on the dispersion relation and growth rate of weak shear-driven EICI is studied. The whole plasma is considered t...
