Beschreibung:
Cyclotron resonance with observed electric field fluctuations is demonstrated to be responsible for production of the oxygen ion conics that are observed by the Dynamics Explorer 1 satellite in the central plasma sheet region of the earth's auroral zone. The ion velocity distribution is described by a quasi-linear diffusion equation which is solved using the Monte Carlo technique. The acceleration produced by the observed wave spectrum agrees well with the ion observations, in both form and magnitude.
