Journal ArticleDOI
Timescale for radiation belt electron acceleration by whistler mode chorus waves
Richard B. Horne,Richard M. Thorne,Sarah A. Glauert,Jay M. Albert,Nigel P. Meredith,Nigel P. Meredith,Roger R. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present CRRES data on the spatial distribution of chorus emissions during active conditions and calculate the pitch angle and energy diffusion rates in three magnetic local time (MLT) sectors and obtain a timescale for acceleration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential waves for relativistic electron scattering and stochastic acceleration during magnetic storms
TL;DR: In this paper, the minimum electron energy for cyclotron resonant interaction with various electromagnetic waves was calculated for conditions representative of storm-times, and the possibility of electron stochastic energization to relativisitic energies (≥ 1 MeV) via resonant waveparticle interactions during a magnetic storm was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave acceleration of electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts
Richard B. Horne,Richard M. Thorne,Yuri Shprits,Nigel P. Meredith,Sarah A. Glauert,Andrew Smith,Shrikanth Kanekal,Daniel N. Baker,Mark J. Engebretson,J. L. Posch,Maria Spasojevic,Umran S. Inan,Jolene S. Pickett,Pierrette Décréau +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown, on the basis of the analysis of a rare event where the outer radiation belt was depleted and then re-formed closer to the Earth, that the long established theory of acceleration by radial diffusion is inadequate; the electrons are accelerated more effectively by electromagnetic waves at frequencies of a few kilohertz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substorm dependence of chorus amplitudes: Implications for the acceleration of electrons to relativistic energies
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of wave data from the CRRES Plasma Wave Experiment for lower band (0.1-0.5f(ce)) and upper band ( 0.5-1.0f(c)) chorus was presented to assess whether these waves could play an important role in the acceleration of a seed population of electrons to relativistic energies during and following geomagnetic storms.

TL;DR: The Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP)-Energetic Particle, Composition, and Thermal Plasma (ECT) suite contains an innovative complement of particle instruments to ensure the highest quality measurements ever made in the inner magnetosphere and radiation belts as mentioned in this paper.
