Scientific paper

The linear and quasilinear theories of lower hybrid waves in a finite-β inhomogeneous plasma with electrons streaming parallel to the magnetic field are examined. These waves are found to be unstable for very low-β and to be stabilized in finite-β plasmas. The quasilinear feedback of unstable waves is shown to result in heating of ions perpendicular to the equilibrium magnetic field. Thus, unstable lower hybrid waves may play a role in producing ion conics in the auroral zone, and in heating ions in the solar plasma.
