Plasma astrophysics: Acceleration of killer electrons

Horne, Richard Bertram ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0412-6407. 2007 Plasma astrophysics: Acceleration of killer electrons. Nature Physics, 3 (9). 590-591. 10.1038/nphys703


Abstract
Relativistic electrons in the outer Van Allen belt wreak havoc with satellites in geosynchronous orbit, but how they reach such high energies has been unclear. New data identify gyro-resonant wave-particle interactions as the culprit.
