SM51A:
Processes That Couple Inner Magnetospheric Plasma Populations II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 22666

Session Description:
The Earth’s inner magnetosphere has three primary plasma populations: the “thermal" particles in the eV energy range, the “hot” particles in the keV energy range, and the “energetic” particles in the MeV range.  These populations are not isolated but rather continually interact with each other. The hot plasma dominates the particle pressure and therefore the electric and magnetic distortions, not only the large-scale field configuration but also the free energy for plasma wave excitation. The thermal plasma dominates the plasma mass density and therefore sets the underlying conditions for wave excitation and propagation. Because of their fast drift periods, the energetic particles are excellent tracers of coupling, providing a diagnostic measurement that integrates all processes around their drift path. This session welcomes presentations of research on the processes that couple inner magnetospheric plasma populations, including data analysis studies, numerical assessments, theoretical examinations, and any combination of these methods.
