Relativistic surfatron process for Landau resonant electrons in radiation belts

Recent theoretical studies of the nonlinear wave-particle interactions for relativistic particles have shown that Landau resonant orbits could be efficiently accelerated along the mean background magnetic field for propagation angles θ in close proximity to a critical propagation &theta;<sub&...
