Scientific paper

We study the large scale structures of the electrons in the inner magnetosphere of Saturn (from the G-ring to Rhea orbit within the E-ring -i.e 2.8 to 9 Rs ). These results are obtained from the power spectra measurements acquired with the Cassini/RPWS electric dipole around the local plasma frequency (quasi-thermal noise spectroscopy), using about forty Cassini' orbits (near periapses) from July 2004(SOI) to mid 2010. We have especially investigated the radial diffusion and latitudinal confinement of the inner plasma torus. We also discuss the longitudinal variations of the electron parameters using the recent SLS3 system. We will also touch about the dust detection by using the RF power spectra measured on the monopole antenna and the possible effect of dust on the observed electron parameters.
