Source at https://doi.org/10.1007/s00585-998-1226-z The plasma dispersion function and the reduced velocity distribution function are calculated numerically for any arbitrary velocity distribution function with cylindrical symmetry along the magnetic field. The electron velocity distribution is sepa...
