"Magneto-elastic" waves in an anisotropic magnetised plasma

Plasma Physics 2023-07-12 v2

Abstract

The linear waves that propagate in a two fluid magnetised plasma allowing for a non-gyrotropic perturbed ion pressure tensor are investigated. For perpendicular propagation and perturbed fluid velocity a low frequency (magnetosonic) and a high frequency (ion Bernstein) branch are identified and discussed. For both branches a comparison is made with the results of a truncated Vlasov treatment. For the low frequency branch we show that a consistent expansion procedure allows us to recover the correct expression of the Finite Larmor Radius corrections to the magnetosonic dispersion relation.
