Outer Radiation Belt Flux and Phase Space Density Response to Sheath Regions: Van Allen Probes and GPS Observations [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2023 Turbulent and compressed sheath regions preceding interplanetary coronal mass ejections strongly impact electron dynamics in the outer radiation belt. Changes in electron flux can occur on timescales of tens of minutes, which are unlikely to be captured ...

Generation of extremely low frequency chorus in Van Allen radiation belts
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2017 AbstractRecent studies have shown that chorus can efficiently accelerate the outer radiation belt electrons to relativistic energies. Chorus, previously often observed above 0.1 equatorial electron gyrofrequency fce, was generated by energetic electrons originating from Earth's plasma sheet.

Using machine learning to diagnose relativistic electron distributions in the Van Allen radiation belts [PDF]
RAS Techniques and Instruments, 2023 The behaviour of relativistic electrons in the radiation belt is difficult to diagnose as their dynamics are controlled by simultaneous physics processes, some of which may be still unknown.

Gyroresonant wave-particle interactions with chorus waves during extreme depletions of plasma density in the Van Allen radiation belts [PDF]
Science Advances, 2021 Periods of low plasma density allow chorus waves to accelerate radiation belt electrons to ultrarelativistic energies. The Van Allen Probes mission provides unique measurements of the most energetic radiation belt electrons at ultrarelativistic energies.

Dynamics of the inner electron radiation belt: A review
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 The Van Allen radiation belts are an extraordinary science discovery in the Earth magnetosphere and consist of two electron belts. The inner Van Allen belt contains electrons of 10s to 100s keV; the outer belt consists mainly of 0.1−10 MeV electrons ...
