Generation and Characteristics of Unusual High Frequency EMIC Waves [PDF]
AbstractWe report unusual Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves with a very narrow frequency bandwidth, closely following and approaching the proton gyrofrequency. One interesting case analysis shows that magnetosonic waves, anisotropic suprathermal proton distributions, and high frequency EMIC waves are closely related.

Direct Evidence of the Pitch Angle Scattering of Relativistic Electrons Induced by EMIC Waves
In this study, we analyze an electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave event of rising tone elements recorded by the Van Allen Probes. The pitch angle distributions of relativistic electrons exhibit a direct response to the two elements of EMIC waves: at

Competing source and loss mechanisms due to wave-particle interactions in Earth’s outer radiation belt during the 30 September to 3 October 2012 geomagnetic storm [PDF]
Drastic variations of Earth’s outer radiation belt electrons ultimately result from various competing source, loss, and transport processes, to which wave-particle interactions are critically important.

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,

EMIC waves observed by Cluster near the plasmapause
AbstractWe analyze a long‐duration electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave event seen in the inner magnetosphere in order to understand the propagation characteristics of these waves in the vicinity of the plasmapause. The study takes advantage of the south to north orbit of the four‐satellite Cluster constellation as it passed through perigee at L ~

Interaction of Inner Heliosheath Ions with Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves
Inner heliosheath (IHS) ions are expected to be exposed to various waves, shocks, and turbulence, which can affect ion distributions and thus their charge-exchange rates with interstellar neutral atoms.
