Effects of cold electron number density variation on whistler-mode wave growth

We examine how the growth of magnetospheric whistler-mode waves depends on the cold (background) electron number density <i>N</i><sub>0</sub>. The analysis is carried out by varying the cold-plasma parameter <i>a</i> = (electron gyrofrequency)<sup>2</su...
