Modeling the loss of inner belt protons by magnetic field line curvature scattering

Weichao, Tu; Cowee, M; Liu, K; 0000-0003-3117-4030; 0000-0001-5882-1328; 0000-0003-4547-3269 (2022-09-30)

The sudden loss of energetic protons in the inner radiation belt has been observed during geomagnetic storms. It is hypothesized that this sudden loss occurs because of changes in the geomagnetic field configuration which ...

One- and two-dimensional hybrid simulations of whistler mode waves in a dipole field

Wu, S; Denton, R; Liu, K; Hudson, M; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2022-09-29)

We simulate whistler mode waves using a hybrid code. There are four species in the simulations, hot electrons initialized with a bi-Maxwellian distribution with temperature in the direction perpendicular to background ...
