Eikonal expansion for an anisotropic plasma

The eikonal expansion developed by Weitzner and Batchelor is reformulated to study the cyclotron resonance in an inhomogeneous anisotropic plasma. It is shown that, to leading order, the functional dependences of the Poynting theorem, the cyclotron damping or growth [or the energy absorption (or emi...

Description
Summary:The eikonal expansion developed by Weitzner and Batchelor is reformulated to study the cyclotron resonance in an inhomogeneous anisotropic plasma. It is shown that, to leading order, the functional dependences of the Poynting theorem, the cyclotron damping or growth [or the energy absorption (or emission)] rates on the unperturbed states are unaltered by anisotropy.
