Short summary
We derive the wave–particle interaction time (IT) equation considering the effects of special relativity theory for whistler-mode chorus waves and relativistic electrons in Earth's radiation belt. Results show that IT has a non-linear dependence on the wave group velocity, electrons' energy, and initial pitch angle. Our results show that the interaction time is generally longer when applying the complete relativistic approach compared to a non-relativistic calculation.
