Short summary

The paper discusses a problem concerned with the excitation of chorus with small wave normal angles along the external magnetic field in the magnetosphere. We examine the realisation of the beam pulse amplifier mechanism of chorus excitation without strong anisotropy of the plasma particle distribution function in the density ducts with refractive reflection. It is shown that in the ducts, discrete spectral elements of chorus can be excited at close to half of the electron cyclotron frequency.
