Abstract

Theoretical work, together with analysis of ISEE data has led to the view that the right-hand resonant ion beam instability is probably responsible for transforming field aligned beam distributions into gyrophase-bunched distributions associated with large amplitude circularly polarised electromagnetic waves. We describe AMPTE-UKS observations of gyrophase-bunched distributions and associated waves and discuss whether they are consistent with the right-hand resonant instability hypothesis.
