Effect of the mirror force on the collision rate due to energetic electron precipitation: Monte Carlo simulations
Abstract We study the effect of the mirror force on the collision rate due to the energetic electron precipitation into the ionosphere. We solve the motion of individual precipitating electrons with the mirror force, where collisions with neutral gas are computed by the Monte Carlo method. By compar...
