Electron loss rates from the outer radiation belt caused by the filling of the outer plasmasphere: The calm before the storm [PDF]
, 2009 Measurements from seven spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit are analyzed to determine the decay rate of the number density of the outer electron radiation belt prior to the onset of high-speed-stream-driven geomagnetic storms.

An experimental study of focused very high energy electron beams for radiotherapy [PDF]
Communications Physics, 2021 AbstractVery high energy electron (VHEE) beams have been proposed as an alternative radiotherapy modality to megavoltage photons; they penetrate deeply without significant scattering in inhomogeneous tissue because of their high relativistic inertia. However, the depth dose distribution of a single, collimated VHEE beam is quasi-uniform, which can lead

Ultra High Energy Electrons Powered by Pulsar Rotation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2013 A new mechanism of particle acceleration, driven by the rotational slow down of the Crab pulsar, is explored. The rotation, through the time dependent centrifugal force, can efficiently excite unstable Langmuir waves in the electron-positron (hereafter e±

Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect in galaxy clusters cavities: Thermal or non-thermal origin? [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Several galaxy clusters host X-ray cavities, often filled with relativistic electrons emitting in the radio band. In the cluster MS 0735.6+7421 the cavities have been detected through the Sunyaev Zel’dovich (SZ) effect, but it has not been possible to ...

Resonant scattering of energetic electrons in the plasmasphere by monotonic whistler-mode waves artificially generated by ionospheric modification [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2014 Modulated high-frequency (HF) heating of the ionosphere provides a feasible means of artificially generating extremely low-frequency (ELF)/very low-frequency (VLF) whistler waves, which can leak into the inner magnetosphere and contribute to resonant ...
