Acceleration mechanism of radiation belt electrons through interaction with multi-subpacket chorus waves

Abstract We conduct test particle simulations to examine the acceleration mechanism of relativistic electrons through interaction with multi-subpacket chorus waves. As the analysis of recent observations reveals, amplitude of a rising tone element of chorus wave consists of many short wave packets....
