N2 - Cornwall et al. (1970) suggested that if the ring current protons penetrated the plasmapause, intense resonant electromagnetic ion cyclotron turbulence would lead to their rapid precipitation loss. In this paper we present a computer simulation study of the electromagnetic iow-cyclotron instability in a homogeneous plasma consisting of protons and electrons embedded in a static magnetic field, BOx. The plasma parameters used are KTpA = 25 keV, /3p
