Wave-induced loss of ultra-relativistic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 The processes that lead to losses of highly energetic particles from Earth’s radiation belts remain poorly understood. Here the authors compare observations and models of a 2013 event to show that electromagnetic ioncyclotron waves provide the dominant ...

Atmospheric losses of radiation belt electrons [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2003 A numerical model of the low‐altitude energetic electron radiation belt, including the effects of pitch angle diffusion into the atmosphere and azimuthal drift, predicts lifetimes and longitude‐dependent loss rates as a function of electron energy and diffusion coefficient.

The atmospheric implications of radiation belt remediation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2006 Abstract. High altitude nuclear explosions (HANEs) and geomagnetic storms can produce large scale injections of relativistic particles into the inner radiation belts. It is recognised that these large increases in >1 MeV trapped electron fluxes can shorten the operational lifetime of low Earth orbiting satellites, threatening a large, valuable ...

Radial Transport in the Earth’s Radiation Belts: Linear, Quasi-linear, and Higher-order Processes
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Observational studies of the Earth’s radiation belts indicate that Alfvénic fluctuations in the frequency range of 2–25 mHz accelerate electrons to relativistic energies.
