Scientific paper

Theoretical and simulation studies of the cyclotron maser mechanism as applied to the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) are reviewed. Computer simulation was used to study the linear growth and nonlinear saturation of electromagnetic radiations due to the loss-cone driven cyclotron maser process. In the nonlinear stage, the radiation saturates by turbulent scattering of resonant particles into the loss-cone (quasi-linear saturation). At saturation, the energetic keV electrons convert 1% of their initial energy to the radiation. In the presence of a continuous pump, the energy conversation to the AKR emission is more efficient and a significant amount of high energy (50 to 500 keV) electrons is produced.
