Cyclotron acceleration of radiation belt electrons by whistlers

Cyclotron acceleration of radiation belt electrons by whistlers

The work considers the non linear scattering of energetic electrons in the earth's radiation belts due to cyclotron interaction with VLF whistlers. In particular we consdier the acceleration of electrons which may result from trapping in the inhomogeneous medium. It is shown that considerable e...

520 |a The work considers the non linear scattering of energetic electrons in the earth's radiation belts due to cyclotron interaction with VLF whistlers. In particular we consdier the acceleration of electrons which may result from trapping in the inhomogeneous medium. It is shown that considerable electron heating may result, and that the very anisotorpic electron distribution functions observed by Bell etal may be explained.
