Scientific paper
An intense band of electromagnetic noise is frequently observed near the magnetic equatorial plane at radial distance from about 2 to 9 earth radii. Recent wide band wave form measurements with the Imp 6 and Hawkeye 1 satellites have shown that the equatorial noise consists of a complex superposition of many harmonically spaced lines. Several distinctly different frequency spacings are often evident in the same spectrum. The frequency spacing typically ranges from a few hertz to a few tens of hertz. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that these waves are interacting with energetic protons, alpha particles, and other heavy ions trapped near the magnetic equator. The possible role that these waves play in controlling the distribution of the energetic ions is considered.
