ABSTRACT
The acceleration of electron by the ponderomotive force of a Gaussian whistler pulse is a magnetized high density quantum plasma obeying Fermi-Dirac distribution using the recently developed quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model. Effective acceleration takes place when the peak whistler amplitude exceeds a threshold value and the whistler frequency is greater than cyclotron frequency. The threshold amplitude decrease with 374ratio of plasma frequency to electron cyclotron frequency. The electron gain at velocities about twice the group velocity of the whistler.
