Recent Advances in Understanding Energy-Dependent Dynamics of Radiation Belt Particles I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61056

Session Description:
The Earth's radiation belt electrons (10s of keV - 10s of MeV) exhibit energy-dependent acceleration, transport and loss processes under the influence of various physical mechanisms. Recent observations with wide energy coverage and high energy resolution shed light on the dynamics of these different populations, including source (10s of keV), seed (100s of keV), relativistic (~MeV), and ultra-relativistic (>~3 MeV) electrons. Understanding the energy-dependent behavior of radiation belt electrons and the effectiveness and relative importance of physical mechanisms on different populations is critical for understanding radiation belt dynamics. This session invites submissions exploring energy-dependent dynamics of radiation belt electrons and energy-dependent effects of physical mechanisms on radiation belt particles. We especially encourage presentations utilizing data from radiation belt missions (Van Allen Probes, ARASE, THEMIS, GOES, POES, BARREL, SAMPEX, CubeSats, etc.) as well as theory and modeling efforts to explain such observations.
