Abstract

The derivation of the appropriate form for the integral eigenmode equation governing both electron and ion drift waves of arbitrary radial wavelengths in a sheared slab is presented. The solutions to this equation provide useful information regarding the absolute stability of universal modes and ion-temperature-gradient driven modes for arbitrary wavelengths, and particularly for short wavelengths.
