Kinetic theory for MHD-wave coupling coefficients
Abstract
The coupling coefficients for resonant three-wave interaction of magnetosonic and Alfvén waves, derived by means of kinetic theory, are presented. The calculations allow for anisotropic background temperatures. The results are compared with previous ones from fluid theory.
