Abstract
Electrostatic waves with ω>ω c in a plasma with temperature anisotropy and loss-cone are considered. An analytical asymptotic analysis is made for waves propagating nearly perpendicular to the magnetic field and having wave-length small compared with the Larmor radius. Numerical computations are done for carried out waves with arbitrary direction of propagation. The frequency range of instability, growth damping rates, and dispersion curves have been found. The results can be used for the interpretation of magnetospheric experiments.
