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

Wu, S.; Denton, R. E.; Liu, Kaijun; Hudson, M. K.; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2020-06-05)

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 ...

Test-Particle Simulations of Linear and Nonlinear Interactions Between a 2-D Whistler-Mode Wave Packet and Radiation Belt Electrons

da Silva, C. L.; Denton, R. E.; Hudson, M. K.; Millan, R. M.; Liu, K.; Bortnik, J. (2020-05-27)

Using test-particle simulations, we describe (in 2-D) the interaction of an ensemble of electrons with a discrete whistler-mode wave packet, which propagates with a moderate wave-normal angle with respect to the background ...
