Abstract

The stability of a neutral sheet configuration with respect to mirrorlike perturbations is analysed in the linear regime. An analytical expression for the linear growth rate of the low-frequency electromagnetic modes is derived using a simplified model for the particle orbits. Considerations on the actual mechanism of the instability are also given.
