Scientific paper

Wave-particle interactions as a producer and controller of radiation belt particle dynamics have been a topic of prime investigation from the earliest days of studies of the Earth’s magnetosphere. This topic has attracted deep thinking and important research not only for its intrinsic scientific interest but also for its crucial relevance to the survival of humans and spaceflight technologies in orbit around planet Earth. Communication technologies that transit, or use as a reflector, the ionosphere, as well as ground-based technologies (e.g, cable communications and power grids that employ long conductors) can be affected by wave-induced radiation belt precipitation. Discussions will be given of both historical background and contemporary ideas about wave-particle interactions, charged particle dynamics, and the relative roles played by various wave species (whistlers, chorus, hiss, EMIC, ULF) in energizing, trapping and loss of radiation belt particles. Emphasis will be given to the importance of this topic for practical space weather concerns, including those planned to be addressed by the forth-coming Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission.
