Abstract
Abstract.The components of the dielectric tensor for the distribution function given by Leubner and Schupfer have been obtained. The effect of the loss-cone index appearing in the particle distribution function in a hot magnetized plasma has been studied. A case study has been performed to calculate temporal growth rates of Bernstein waves using the distribution function given by Summers and Thorne and Leubner and Schupfer. The effect of the loss-cone index on growth rates is found to be quite different for the two distribution functions.
