Electromagnetic whistler-mode waves play important roles in efficient pitch-angle scattering and acceleration of electrons in collisionless space plasma such as solar wind, shock waves, and planetary magnetospheres. The nonlinear wave-particle interaction theory for coherent large amplitude waves predicts that electrons around cyclotron resonance velocity exhibit nongyrotropy due to the phase trapping motion and the nongyrotropic electrons exchange energy and momentum with the waves in the presence of an appropriate magnitude of spatial gradient of magnetic field intensity and/or temporal variation of the wave frequency. In this presentation, we show observational results of nongyrotropic electrons around the cyclotron resonance velocity using the data obtained by the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft during a whistler-mode wave event around the magnetosheath-side separatrix of the dayside magnetopause reconnection. On the basis of measurements of electromagnetic field and electrons, the location of a depression of electron flux in phase space relative to the magnetic field of the whistler-mode wave around the cyclotron resonance velocity agrees well with the prediction by the nonlinear theory, when the magnitude of spatial gradient of magnetic field intensity, which was derived by multipoint measurements, satisfied the condition for occurrence of the phase trapping. The Electron Drift Instrument continuously detected the modulation of electron flux at the cyclotron resonance velocity. These results provide direct evidence of locally ongoing nonlinear wave-particle interaction between the electrons and whistler-mode waves, and demonstrate occurrence of nonlinear wave growth around the reconnection.
