Electron acceleration at Jupiter: input from cyclotron-resonant interaction with whistler-mode chorus waves
Jupiter has the most intense radiation belts of all the outer planets. It is not yet known how electrons can be accelerated to energies of 10 MeV or more. It has been suggested that cyclotron-resonant wave-particle interactions by chorus waves could accelerate electrons to a few MeV near the orb...
