Gary, S.P. and Lee, M.A. (1994). The ion cyclotron anisotropy instability and the inverse correlation between proton anisotropy and proton beta. Journal of Geophysical Research 99: doi: 10.1029/94JA00253. issn: 0148-0227.

Magnetosheath observations have shown an inverse correlation between the proton temperature anisotropy and the parallel proton &bgr;. Computer simulations have produced similar correlations and have demonstrated that they are due to wave-particle scattering by ion cyclotron anisotropy instabilities. Three derivations of this correlation in an electron/proton plasma yield physical insight into this relationship. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1994
