Resonant excitation of Alfvén waves by fast particles in a finite pressure plasma in a non-uniform magnetic field is studied. Plasma compressibility in the wave field is determined both by the curvature of the magnetic lines of force and finite Larmor radius of fast particles. A general expression for the instability growth rate is obtained and analyzed; the applicability of the results obtained in the previous paper has also been studied. The finite pressure stabilization of the trapped particles instability has been found. The bounce-resonance effects are analyzed.

Abstract. Using hybrid simulations, we examine how particles can diffuse across the Earth's magnetopause because of finite Larmor radius effects. We focus on tangential discontinuities and consider a reversal of the magnetic field that closely models the magnetopause under southward interplanetary magnetic field. When the Larmor radius is on the order of the field reversal thickness, we show that particles can cross the discontinuity. We also show that with a realistic initial shear flow, a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability develops that increases the efficiency of the crossing process. We investigate the distribution functions of the transmitted ions and demonstrate that they are structured according to a D-shape. It accordingly appears that magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause is not the only process that leads to such specific distribution functions. A simple analytical model that describes the built-up of these functions is proposed.
