Scientific paper

Observations from the Rocket Auroral Correlator Experiment (RACE), launched on February 6, 2002 from Poker Flat, Alaska, show show clear evidence of phase bunching of the electrons by Langmuir waves. The measurements were made by a new wave-particle correlator during a period when the Langmuir waves were very monochromatic and the amplitude varied slowly in time. The electrons, which are at energies well below the inverted-V peak energy, are found to be bunched at 90 degrees with respect to the wave field indicating that they are the reactive component of the perturbed distribution function. This is in agreementwith theory that predicts this phase relation for the transit of electrons through a very long wave field.
