Scientific paper

Electron precipitation induced by oblique whistler waves is investigated using a new test particle simulation code based on gyro-averaged equations of motion. Results indicate that highly oblique waves can efficiently pitch angle scatter suprathermal electrons (10-100 eV). Estimates indicate that the precipitated electron energy fluxes resulting from the interaction of 100 eV electrons with oblique waves can be up to 30 times larger than that due to the precipitation of 100 keV electrons by parallel propagating waves.
