The susceptibility tensor of a hot, magnetized plasma is conventionally expressed in terms of infinite sums of products of Bessel functions. For applications where the particle’s gyroradius is larger than the wavelength, such as alpha particle dynamics interacting with lower-hybrid waves, and the focusing of charged particle beams using a solenoidal field, the infinite sums converge slowly. In this paper, a new derivation of the plasma susceptibility tensor is presented which exploits a symmetry in the particle’s orbit to simplify the integration along the unperturbed trajectories. As a consequence, the infinite sums appearing in the conventional expression are replaced by definite double integrals over one gyroperiod, and the cyclotron resonances of all orders are captured by a single term. Furthermore, the double integrals can be carried out and expressed in terms of Bessel functions of complex order, in agreement with expressions deduced previously using the Newburger sum rule. From this new formulatio...
