Butterfly Distribution of Relativistic Electrons Driven by Parallel Propagating Lower Band Whistler Chorus Waves

Abstract We report results from a test particle simulation to reveal that electron scattering driven by lower band whistler chorus waves propagating along a magnetic field line plays an important role to produce the butterfly distribution of relativistic electrons. The results show that two nonlinea...
