Enhanced Efficiency of Solar Wind Electron Interaction with Whistlers Caused by Switchback-related Magnetic Dips
Through test particle simulations based on solar wind observations by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, we demonstrate that a magnetic gradient can significantly enhance the efficiency of scattering and energization of the strahl electrons by quasi-parallel whistlers, through the...
