Abstract
An experiment that separates whistler-mode waves into characteristic right- and left-hand circularly polarized components on a broad-band basis has shown that electron whistlers are nearly right-hand polarized and proton whistlers are nearly left-hand polarized, as is predicted by whistler theories. The method has application to the study of broad-band phenomena such as hiss and chorus, and should allow improved accuracy of ion density as measured from proton whistlers.
