Equations of Motion Near Cyclotron Resonance
This work compares several versions of the equations of motion for a test particle encountering cyclotron resonance with a single, field-aligned whistler mode wave. The gyro-averaged Lorentz equation produces both widespread phase trapping (PT) and “positive phase bunching” of low pitch angle electr...
