The stability of the ion temperature gradient modes is investigated using the kinetic ion response without expansions in ωD/ω. A systematic parameter study is carried out using a low-beta circular flux surface equilibrium in order to determine the stability boundaries in ηi vs εn space (ηi=d ln Ti/ d ln n, εn=Ln/R). Particular attention is devoted to the consequences of the presence of these modes for anomalous ion transport.
