We present the initial results obtained from a unique experiment-theory project. This project is designed to study the detailed nature of the wave-particle interactions between energetic electrons and whistler-mode waves. Using the Large-Plasma device at UCLA, whistler mode waves are injected into one end of the machine and a beam of energetic electrons is injected at the opposite ends. When the first-order resonance condition is met, the electron beam is scattered, which is measured with a novel energy-pitch-angle analyzer. To support the experiment, a flexible test-particle code is constructed which is able to quantify the scattering of charged particles in response to any distribution of waves, in an arbitrary field geometry. The results of the experiment are discussed and placed into the context of space physics and specifically the upcoming Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission.
