Linear Dispersion Relation For The Mirror Instability In Context Of The Gyrokinetic Theory
Authors: Peter Porazik and Jay Johnson
Abstract:
The linear dispersion relation for the mirror instability is discussed in context of the gyrokinetic theory. The
obejctive is to provide a coherent view of the various kinetic approaches used to derive the dispersion relation.
The method based on gyrocenter phase space transformations is adopted in order to display the origin and
ordering of various terms.
