Determination of the averaged charge-to-mass ratio of the heavy charged constituents of a magnetoplasma using whistler wave measurements

In a cold magnetized plasma with two light ions of comparable gyrofrequencies and any species of heavy ions and/or charged dust particulates, a technique is developed to recover the relative charge density of the heavy plasma population and to estimate its effective averaged charge-to-mass ratio...
