Zusammenfassung |
A search of the Annales Geophysicae database shows that
double layers and other quasi-static electric potential structures have been
invoked hundreds of times since the year 2000 as being the agents of auroral
electron acceleration. This is despite the fact that energy transfer by
conservative fields has been known for some 200 years to be impossible.
Attention is drawn to a long-standing interpretation of the acceleration
process in terms of the dynamic fields of electrostatic waves. |
