Observations of Radiation Belt Losses Due to Cyclotron Wave-Particle Interactions [PDF]
Electron loss to the atmosphere plays a critical role in driving dynamics of the Earths Van Allen radiation belts and slot region. This is a review of atmospheric loss of radiation belt electrons caused by plasma wave scattering via Doppler-shifted ...

Relativistic Electron Precipitation by EMIC Waves: Importance of Nonlinear Resonant Effects
Relativistic electron losses in Earth's radiation belts are usually attributed to electron resonant scattering by electromagnetic waves. One of the most important wave modes for such scattering is the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) mode. Within the

Nonlinear theory has predicted that wave‐wave coupling from different band electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves can occur in multiple‐ion plasmas. However, no direct observational evidence has been reported yet.

Electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the near‐Earth magnetotail [PDF]
This study considers the characteristics and generation mechanisms of bursts of polarized transverse electromagnetic waves observed over the frequency range from 50 up to 500 mHz in the near‐Earth magnetotail from ISEE 1 and ISEE 2. Since this range contains the cyclotron frequencies of the ion components found in this region of space, we loosely term ...

Wave-induced loss of ultra-relativistic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts. [PDF]
The dipole configuration of the Earth's magnetic field allows for the trapping of highly energetic particles, which form the radiation belts. Although significant advances have been made in understanding the acceleration mechanisms in the radiation belts,

Saturation Characteristics of Parallel EMIC Waves in the Inner Magnetosphere
In this letter, detailed evolution process of parallel electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the inner magnetosphere has been investigated through quasilinear theory. A new saturation has been found to occur after the usual first saturation.

Scattering of Ultra-relativistic Electrons in the Van Allen Radiation Belts Accounting for Hot Plasma Effects. [PDF]
Electron flux in the Earth's outer radiation belt is highly variable due to a delicate balance between competing acceleration and loss processes. It has been long recognized that Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves may play a crucial role in the ...

Resonance of relativistic electrons with electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves [PDF]
Relativistic electrons have been thought to more easily resonate with electromagnetic ion cyclotron EMIC waves if the total density is large. We show that, for a particular EMIC mode, this dependence is weak due to the dependence of the wave frequency and wave vector on the density.
