Nonlinear wave-particle interaction in the Earth’s magnetosphere
Nonlinear wave-particle interaction in the Earth’s magnetosphere
Session ID#: 72921
Session Description:
Modern spacecraft missions (THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS, Arase, etc.) and comprehensive numerical models have significantly improved our understanding of the magnetosphere dynamics and the critical role of wave-particle resonant interactions for these dynamics. However, many aspects of this interaction are described only with linear and quasi-linear approaches, which fail to describe the generation of various observed wave emissions (e.g., chorus waves) and rapid particle acceleration by very intense coherent waves. This session aims to bring together specialists on data analysis with comprehensive techniques, allowing for the identification of nonlinear wave-particle resonances, and on state-of-the-art theoretical models quantifying such nonlinear resonant contributions to radiation belt dynamics and other regions of the magnetosphere.
