TLDR
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport.Abstract:
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport. The key science objectives and the contribution that EMFISIS makes to providing measurements as well as theory and modeling are described. The key components of the instruments suite, both electronics and sensors, including key functional parameters, calibration, and performance, demonstrate that EMFISIS provides the needed measurements for the science of the RBSP mission. The EMFISIS operational modes and data products, along with online availability and data tools provide the radiation belt science community with one the most complete sets of data ever collected.read more

Extreme Energy Spectra of Relativistic Electron Flux in the Outer Radiation Belt
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provided analytical steady-state solutions to the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the relativistic electron distribution and flux, which correspond to hard energy spectra at 1-4 MeV, dangerous for satellite electronics.

Regular Article: A Solution-Adaptive Upwind Scheme for Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a computational scheme for compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) based on the same elements that make up many modern compressible gas dynamics codes: high-resolution upwinding based on an approximate Riemann solver for MHD and limited reconstruction; an optimally smoothing multi-stage time-stepping scheme; and solution-adaptive refinement and coarsening.

Relativistic theory of wave‐particle resonant diffusion with application to electron acceleration in the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was proposed to account for the observed variations in the flux and pitch angle distribution of relativistic electrons during geomagnetic storms by combining pitch angle scattering by intense EMIC waves and energy diffusion during cyclotron resonant interaction with whistler mode chorus outside the plasmasphere.

Pitch-angle diffusion of radiation belt electrons within the plasmasphere.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the quiet-time electron slot, which divides the radiation belt electrons into an inner and an outer zone, was investigated. But the results were limited to the inner radiation zone.
