Description
This article discusses the possible microinstabilities in the central cell of a tandem mirror resulting from the anisotropic velocity distribution of the alpha particles. The low frequency wave spectrum for a cylindrical, DT plasma is obtained. The authors find three branches of waves with various azimuthal and radial mode numbers. The alpha loss-cone distribution is obtained from either a diffusion front method or Legendre function expansion
