Testing the key processes that accelerate outer radiation belt relativistic electrons during geomagnetic storms
Since the discovery of the Earth’s radiation belts in 1958, it has always been a challenge to determine the dominant physical mechanisms, whether local acceleration by chorus or inward radial diffusion, that leads to outer radiation belt relativistic electron flux enhancements. In this study, we tes...
