On the threshold energization of radiation belt electrons by double layers
Using a Hamiltonian approach, we quantify the energization threshold of electrons interacting with radiation belts’ double layers discovered by Mozer et al. (2013). We find that double layers with electric field amplitude E0 ranging between 10 and 100 mV/m and spatial scales of the order of few Debye lengths are very efficient in energizing electrons with initial velocities v∥ ≤ vth to 1 keV le...
متن کاملParticle energization through time-periodic helical magnetic fields.
We solve for the motion of charged particles in a helical time-periodic ABC (Arnold-Beltrami-Childress) magnetic field. The magnetic field lines of a stationary ABC field with coefficients A=B=C=1 are chaotic, and we show that the motion of a charged particle in such a field is also chaotic at late times with positive Lyapunov exponent. We further show that in time-periodic ABC fields, the kine...
متن کاملFormation of electron holes and particle energization during magnetic reconnection.
Three-dimensional particle simulations of magnetic reconnection reveal the development of turbulence driven by intense electron beams that form near the magnetic x-line and separatrices. The turbulence collapses into localized three-dimensional nonlinear structures in which the electron density is depleted. The predicted structure of these electron holes compares favorably with satellite observ...
متن کاملParticle transport and energization associated with disturbed magnetospheric events
Energetic particle flux enhancement events observed by satellites during strongly disturbed events in the magnetosphere (e.g., substorms, storm sudden commencements, etc.) are studied by considering interaction of particles with Earthward propagating electromagnetic pulses of westward electric field and consistent magnetic field of localized radial and azimuthal extent in a background magnetic ...
متن کاملFilamentary double layers
The properties of double layers produced in current filaments have been studied. The experiments were performed in a magnetized triple plasma device in which the diameter of the central plasma column could be varied. The scaling of the double layer potential drop I’,, with the parameter jd’, where j is the current density in the double layer and d is the double layer thickness, was determined f...
