Many spacecraft fly within or through a natural and variable particle accelerator powered by the coupling between the magnetosphere and the solar wind: the Earth's radiation belts …
We compute quasilinear diffusion rates due to pitch angle scattering by various mechanisms in the Earth's electron radiation belts. The calculated theoretical lifetimes are compared with …
We deduce the electron plasma density from the NASA Van Allen Probes Electric Field and Waves and Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science …
We provide a post-mission assessment of the science and data from the Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the …
Abstract Van Allen Probes measurements revealed the presence of the most unusual structures in the ultra‐relativistic radiation belts. Detailed modeling, analysis of pitch angle …
A new empirical density model is developed for the inner zone between 1< L< 3 using plasma densities inferred from the upper hybrid resonance on Arase, and hiss‐inferred …

Abstract We compare ESA PROBA‐V observations of electron flux at LEO with those from the NASA Van Allen Probes mostly at MEO for October 2013. Dropouts are visible at all …
We perform ensemble simulations of radiation belt electron acceleration using the quasi‐ linear approach during the storm on 9 October 2012, where chorus waves dominated …

Particle precipitation is a loss mechanism from the radiation belts whereby particles trapped by the Earth's magnetic field are scattered into the loss cone due to wave‐particle …
