Abstract
The first-order temperature terms for the anisotropic-temperature plasma susceptibility are calculated for each species, using the velocity moment equations and circular polarized co-ordinates. The results agree with the expanded terms for the Vlasov equation solution, for which a usefully simple derivation is given. An electrostatic wave result is given. Drift can be included by a transformation of the results for zero drift.Keywords
