Enhanced Pitch Angle Diffusion due to Electron-Whistler Interactions during Disturbed Times
W Wykes, S C Chapman, G Rowlands
During periods of increased magnetospheric activity, whistler wave emissions have been observed with increased wave amplitudes. We consider a pitch angle diffusion mechanism that i…

Enhanced Phase Space Diffusion due to Chaos in Relativistic Electron- Whistler Mode Wave Particle Interactions in Planetary Magnetospheres
W J Wykes, S. C. Chapman, G. Rowlands
The chaotic interaction between electrons and whistler mode waves has been shown to provide a mechanism for enhanced diffusion in phase space. Pitch angle diffusion is relevant for…
