Radial Transport in the Earth’s Radiation Belts: Linear, Quasi-linear, and Higher-order Processes

Radial Transport in the Earth’s Radiation Belts: Linear, Quasi-linear, and Higher-order Processes

Observational studies of the Earth’s radiation belts indicate that Alfvénic fluctuations in the frequency range of 2–25 mHz accelerate electrons to relativistic energies. For decades, statistical models of radiation belts have quantified the impact of Alfvénic waves in terms of quasi-linear diffusio...
