On the generalized energy principle for the flute perturbations
Lansky I.M., Ryutov D.D.
Expression is derived for the energy of the flute perturbations in a plasma in which there exists a population of "hot" particles whose drift frequency around the magnetic axis greatly exceeds the frequency of the perturbation. It is shown that the contribution of the hot particles to the overall perturbation energy is of the kinetic type (i.e., scales as ξ2). This result considerably affects the conclusions on the stability of various systems containing hot particles.
