Generalized Slab Model and Finite Larmor Radius Effects
Abstract
An equilibrium slab model of a barium cloud is derived. This model has finite length in the magnetic field direction and allows one to study the stability of configurations with various degrees of ionospheric short- circuiting. It reduces to previous models for the case of no short-circuiting but is quite different in the more general case. The combined influence of finite Larmor radium corrections and inertia on the stability of the infinite slab model is studied. A simple dispersion relation is obtained.
