Numerical modeling of the magnetic topology near Mars auroral observations
[1] Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the Mars magnetic field topology are presented for the auroral observations reported from the Mars Express SPICAM instrument. It is found that the field lines closest to the assumed emission location are open. That is, they are connected to the interplanetary magnetic field, thus allowing access for solar wind electrons to bombard the upper atmospher...
متن کاملResonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons by whistler-mode chorus: Contribution to diffuse auroral precipitation
[1] A quantitative analysis is presented of the resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons ( 100 eV–20 keV) at L = 6 due to resonant interactions with whistler-mode chorus. Using wave parameters modeled from observations under geomagnetically disturbed conditions, it is demonstrated that the rate of pitch angle scattering can exceed the level of strong diffusion over a broad energy range (20...
متن کاملLatitudinal and longitudinal dispersion of energetic auroral protons
Using a collision by collision model from Lorentzen et al., the latitudinal and longitudinal dispersion of single auroral protons are calculated. The proton energies varies from 1 to 50 keV, and are released into the atmosphere at 700 km altitude. The dipole magnetic ®eld has a dip-angle of 8 degrees. Results show that the main dispersion region is at high altitudes (300±350 km) and occurs duri...
متن کاملTracking Study of 200 MeV Protons within a PMMA Phantom
This paper describes an experiment that determined the position, and its associated uncertainty, of a proton at three different depths inside of a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) absorber. These observed positions prove the fact that one can predict the most likely path (MLP) of a proton moving through a uniform medium, as long as the displacement and angle of that proton are known at the absorb...
متن کاملIrradiation of silicon particle detectors with MeV-protons
Silicon particle detectors are used in several applications and will clearly require better hardness against particle radiation in the future large scale experiments than can be provided today. To achieve this goal, more irradiation studies with defect generating bombarding particles are needed. Protons can be considered as important bombarding species, although neutrons and electrons are perha...
