Scientific paper

A kinetic theory allowing finite ion Larmor radii, general magnetic field geometries, and plasma equilibria has been developed for hydromagnetic Alfven waves excited within the earth's magnetosphere by the storm-time energetic ring-current particles. In particular, assuming adiabatically injected particles, it is found that the excitation mechanism is due to the magnetic drift-bounce resonances of highly energetic protons and that the various predicted instability properties are consistent with satellite observations.
