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

Stability of relativistic electron trapping by strong whistler or electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves
A. Artemyev,D. Mourenas,Oleksiy Agapitov,D. L. Vainchtein,F. S. Mozer,Vladimir Krasnoselskikh +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of magnetic field fluctuations on the stability of electron trapping and showed that such non-resonant fluctuations can break the adiabatic parameters of the wave potential and result in a diffusive escape of electrons from the trapped regime of motion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 3D diffusion codes to simulate the electron evolution during a geomagnetic storm using the University of California, Los Angeles 3-D diffusion code and incorporated radial diffusion, local acceleration, and loss processes due to whistler mode wave observations.

Propagation characteristics of plasmaspheric hiss: Van Allen Probe observations and global empirical models
TL;DR: Based on the Van Allen Probe A observations from 1 October 2012 to 31 December 2014, this paper developed two empirical models to respectively describe the hiss wave normal angle (WNA) and amplitude variations in the Earth's plasmasphere for different substorm activities.

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.
