Explaining the apparent impenetrable barrier to ultra-relativistic electrons in the outer Van Allen belt

The origin of the apparent impenetrable barrier in the outer Van Allen belt is still uncertain. Here, the authors report that penetration to the barrier can occur by means of ultra-low frequency wave transport, enabling ultra-relativistic electrons to reach the location of the barrier.
