Notes. The background plasma 
includes the guide field. The magnetization 
is defined by Eq. (2), and σi + e is the total magnetization (Eq. (5)). The Alfvén speed 
is defined by Eq. (4). When there is a guide field, the value displayed is 
(Sect. 2.1). The index of the power-law component of the background population (when there is one) is p.
