Scientific paper

Many space plasmas have an excess of superthermal particles and can be modelled by a κ-distribution. While κ-->∞ yields the Maxwellian, a low value of κ describes a power-law distribution with a strongly accelerated, hard spectrum. Wave studies require the generalized plasma dispersion function, which may be expressed in terms of a hypergeometric function, making it easily usable. We review studies of waves in κ-distribution plasmas, focusing inter alia on applications to space plasmas. Wave behavior for low-κ plasmas is significantly different from that found for Maxwellian plasmas. .
