Abstract

The paper investigates the stability of electrostatic waves in non-uniform magnetoplasmas, governed by anti-loss-cone distributions. A new high- frequency anti-loss-cone instability occurs if ρ > ρc. (ρ is the parameter charactensing the strength of the anti-loss-cone.) An increase in ρ increases the growth rates for this instability, but stabilizes the low-frequency instability that exists even in the absence of the anti-loss cone. The growth rates can be of order 0.1Ωe.
