Abstract
We have developed a very general computer code for studying microinstabilities in a uniform magnetized plasma. Employing a new algorithm to perform two-dimensional numerical integrals in the conductivity tensor, the code can handle an arbitrary distribution function given by either an analytical function or numerical values on a momentum space grid and solve the full dispersion relation for an arbitrary propagation angle in either a non-relativistic or relativistic plasma except for a highly relativistic plasma (energy ⪢ 1 MeV). The results for cyclotron-maser instability and whistler-wave instability are presented to illustrate the validity of the method.
