Self-induced Scattering of Strahl Electrons in the Solar Wind

Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Seong-Yeop Jeong +3

We investigate the scattering of strahl electrons by microinstabilities as a mechanism for creating the electron halo in the solar wind. We develop a mathematical framework for the…
