The relationship between the macroscopic state of electrons and the properties of chorus waves observed by the Van Allen Probes

Abstract Plasma kinetic theory predicts that a sufficiently anisotropic electron distribution will excite whistler mode waves, which in turn relax the electron distribution in such a way as to create an upper bound on the relaxed electron anisotropy. Here using whistler mode chorus wave and plasma m...
