• Discovery of very large amplitude whistler‐mode waves in Earth's radiation belts (2008, background): “Acceleration of electrons by low amplitude whistler-mode ‘chorus’ waves is currently accepted to be an important process in the outer belt [Summers et al., 1998; Roth et al., 1999; Summers and Ma, 2000; Meredith et al., 2001; Horne and Thorne, 2003; Horne et al., 2005; Albert and Young, 2005].”
