A previous work considered the generation of ULF waves in the inner Magnetosphere due to a heavy ion ring distribution such as Lithium [Ganguli et al., 2007]. We extend this analysis by considering the generation of Lower-hybrid waves in an Oxygen dominated plasma at R~550km due to a Barium ion ring distribution. We demonstrate the criteria in which Lower-hybrid waves are produced and examine the quasilinear evolution of the instability. The quasilinear evolution of the Barium ring distribution lowers the instability threshold. The analysis is compared with space experiments done several decades ago. We conclude that the strong turbulence generated by such a release can increase wave activity in the plasmasphere. Ganguli, G., L. Rudakov, M. Mithaiwala, and K.
