Probability of relativistic electron trapping by parallel and oblique whistler-mode waves in Earth's radiation belts
We investigate electron trapping by high-amplitude whistler-mode waves propagating at small as well as large angles relative to geomagnetic field lines. The inhomogeneity of the background magnetic field can result in an effective acceleration of trapped particles. Here, we derive useful analytical...
