Stability properties of high-pressure geotail flux tubes

Kinetic theory is used to investigate the stability of ballooning interchange modes in the high‐pressure geotail plasma. A variational form of the stability problem is used to compare new kinetic stability results with MHD, fast MHD, and Kruskal and Oberman [1958] stability results. Two types of dri...
