The highly relativistic surfatron acceleration of electrons by electromagnetic wave packet in space plasma

On the basis of numerical calculations it is considered the highly relativistic surfatron acceleration of electrons in space plasma by spatially localized electromagnetic wave packet for the large initial energy of particles. The optimum conditions for strong electrons acceleration are formulated. The estimate of accelerated electrons maximum energy is given. © 2015 National Science Center, Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology. All rights reserved.
