Upper Limit of Outer Radiation Belt Electron Acceleration Driven by Whistler‐Mode Chorus Waves

Abstract We investigate the outer radiation belt electron energy spectra of the highest fluxes observed during storms based on Van Allen Probes measurements, which demonstrate a similar shape despite various levels of geomagnetic activity. Using quasi‐linear diffusion simulations, we reproduce the o...
