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...
