Scientific paper

Landau resonance between energetic electrons and plasmaspheric hiss waves at the inner radiation belt is discussed. It is found that, at low L values, Landau resonance with electrons near their mirror points can give pitch angle diffusion coefficients larger than those expected for equivalent cyclotron resonances at the equator. It is suggested that the resonance may be useful in explaining the enhancement in energetic electron precipitation at the inner belt, expecially during the recovery phase of storms when the plasmaspheric hiss population may be intensified.
