Wave Normal Angle Distribution of Magnetosonic Waves in the Earth's Magnetosphere: 2-D PIC Simulation
(2022-10-11)
Radiation belt electrons can be accelerated and scattered by magnetosonic waves in the Earth's magnetosphere, and the scattering rate of electrons is sensitive to the wave normal angle. However, observationally it is ...
Two-Dimensional Particle-in-Cell Simulation of Magnetosonic Wave Excitation in a Dipole Magnetic Field
(2020-05-27)
The excitation of magnetosonic waves in the meridian plane of a rescaled dipole magnetic field is investigated, for the first time, using a general curvilinear particle-in-cell simulation. Our simulation demonstrates that ...
Spectral properties and associated plasma energization by magnetosonic waves in the Earth's magnetosphere: Particle-in-cell simulations
(2020-06-01)
In this paper, we perform a 1-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation model consisting of three species, cold electrons, cold ions, and energetic ion ring, to investigate spectral structures of magnetosonic waves excited by ...
Fast Magnetosonic Waves Observed by Van Allen Probes: Testing Local Wave Excitation Mechanism
(2020-05-28)
Linear Vlasov theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for electromagnetic fluctuations in a homogeneous, magnetized, and collisionless plasma are used to investigate a fast magnetosonic wave event observed by the Van ...
Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Characteristics of Rising-Tone Chorus Waves in the Inner Magnetosphere
(2022-11-08)
Whistler mode chorus waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere are usually composed of discrete elements, and each element can be characterized by the following properties: the amplitude, the duration, the frequency span, ...

Two-Dimensional gcPIC Simulation of Rising-Tone Chorus Waves in a Dipole Magneitic Field
(2023-01-19)
Rising-tone chorus waves have already been successfully produced in a mirror magnetic field with the use of one- and two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. However, in reality, the background magnetic field ...
