The Theory of Resonant Cosmic Ray–driven Instabilities—Growth and Saturation of Single Modes by Rouven Lemmerz, Mohamad Shalaby, Christoph Pfrommer, Timon Thomas

“…We develop a theory of the underlying processes that organize the particles’ orbits and in particular their gyrophases, which provides an intuitive physical picture of (i) wave growth as the CR gyrophases start to bunch up lopsidedly toward the local wave magnetic field, (ii) instability saturation as a result of CRs overtaking the wave and damping its amplitude without isotropizing CRs in the wave frame, and (iii) CR backreaction onto the unstable plasma waves as the CR gyrophases follow a pendulum motion around the wave magnetic field. …”
