Abstract

The weakly relativistic theory of absorption and emission of electron cyclotron waves in hot magnetized plasmas is developed for a large class of anisotropic electron distribution functions. The results are expressed in terms of the weakly relativistic plasma dispersion functions, and therefore of the well-known plasma Z-function. The particular case of a loss-cone electron distribution function is presented as a simple example.
