Deskripsi

The classical picture of cyclotron resonance fails to describe the interaction between large-amplitude plasma waves and low-energy particles. The authors identify anomalous resonance, or nonlinear modification of the classical resonant condition by strong wave field, by ultrafast spacecraft measurements that are consistent with test-particle simulations.
