Electron pitch-angle diffusion: resonant scattering by waves vs. nonadiabatic effects
In this paper we investigate the electron pitchangle diffusion coefficients in the night-side inner magnetosphere around the geostationary orbit (L∼ 7) due to magnetic field deformation. We compare the effects of resonant wave–particle scattering by lower band chorus waves and the adiabaticity violation of electron motion due to the strong curvature of field lines in the vicinity of the equator...
متن کاملDirect detection of resonant electron pitch angle scattering by whistler waves in a laboratory plasma.
Resonant interactions between energetic electrons and whistler mode waves are an essential ingredient in the space environment, and in particular in controlling the dynamic variability of Earth's natural radiation belts, which is a topic of extreme interest at the moment. Although the theory describing resonant wave-particle interaction has been present for several decades, it has not been hith...
متن کاملElectron Pitch-Angle Diffusion by ECH Waves in Earth and Jupiter Magnetospheres: Contribution to Diffuse Auroral Precipitation
Pitch-angle diffusion coefficients of electrons have been calculated for resonant interaction with electrostatic electron-cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves using quasi linear diffusion theory. Calculations have been performed for the planets Earth and Jupiter at three radial distances for each planet. Electron precipitation fluxes have also been calculated and compared with observed fluxes. At Ear...
متن کاملRelativistic electron dropouts by pitch angle scattering in the geomagnetic tail
Relativistic electron dropout (RED) events are characterized by fast electron flux decrease at the geostationary orbit. It is known that the main loss process is non adiabatic and more effective for the high energy particles. RED events generally start to occur at midnight sector and propagate to noon sector and are correlated with magnetic field stretching. In this paper, we discuss this kind ...
متن کاملScattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Electron Acoustic Waves
-It is shown that a large amplitude electromagnetic wave can parametrically excite low-frequency electrostatic modified electron acoustic waves which are unique to three-component plasmas containing ions, hot electrons and a group of cold electrons. The growth rates and thresholds of the decay instabilities are obtained. Application of our results in the auroral region of the ionosphere is illu...
