In a quiescent collisionless plasma the motion of charged particles within a magnetosonic wave is reversible, but in the presence of electromagnetic plasma waves that pitch‐angle scatter the particles, this is no longer true, and the plasma may be magnetically pumped by the magnetosonic wave, extracting energy from the wave. The particles that are energized are in resonance with the catalyst electromagnetic waves but gain their energy from the magnetosonic wave. To study this mechanism, three types of numerical simulations are used. In the first type, the magnetic pumping of an element of plasma is numerically simulated in detail by following the magnetosonic‐wave‐driven convection of the particle distribution through pitch‐angle/momentum space and by computationally solving a pitch‐angle diffusion equation for the distribution‐function evolution under the action of the electromagnetic fluctuations. It is found that the magnetosonic‐wave energy is transferred predominantly to high‐energy particles. In the...
