Abstract

The over-reflection of magnetoacoustic ion-cyclotron waves in a warm Hall plasma is investigated. It is shown that the effect of the Hall term is to strongly support over-reflection, thereby destabilizing the flow. Its relevance to the current-vortex sheet of the magnetosheath resulting from the interaction of the solar wind and the Earth's magnetopause is pointed out.
