Notes. Col. (A): nine simulations covering the frequency ratio range ωp/ωc = 10 − 12 equidistantly with increments of ωp/ωc = 0.25. Col. (B): four simulations with gradually increasing characteristic thermal velocity of the hot plasma component vth from 0.15c to 0.5c. Col. (C): simulations of four different density ratios between the hot loss-cone and background particles for frequency ratio values of ωp/ωc = 3, 5, 11 (twelve simulations in total). The simulation of the electron–proton plasma used the values in Col. (D).
