Abstract
The three-dimensional mode structure of the drift cyclotron loss-cone (DCLC) instability is characterized in an axisymmetric mirror machine. It is shown, for this experiment, that (1) the azimuthal mode structure does not assume the geometry associated with an azimuthal normal mode φ̃=f (r,z)exp(imθ) with a single integral value of m, (2) the presence of a cool-ion plasma stream does not, in general, stabilize the mode globally, and (3) the axial mode characteristics have finite structure.
