Plasma waves propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field in a high-beta, magnetically confined plasma can be unstable in configurations for which the guiding-center drifts are in the ’’favorable’’ direction. The basic instability mechanism is illustrated and the conditions for growth are obtained using the Maxwell and Vlasov equations in a slab model of the plasma.
