11. Expression (30) is derived from the plasma dielectric function in [10]. From this derivation one can trace the origin of the two terms contributing to the dielectric. The term proportional to k2 comes from the axial electric field and the momentum dependence of the Doppler shift, while the term proportional to w2 comes from the transverse electric field and the energy dependence of the cyclotron frequency. Thus, these terms can be attributed to axial and gyrophase bunching, respectively.
