Scientific paper

At Saturn small scale plasma injection is prolific in the radial range 5 < L < 10. In earlier work we showed that heating via a radial circulation pattern of inward injection and drift creates a hot electron component superposed throughout this range (Rymer et al., 2008). In this presentation we extend those ideas to explore whether an azimuthal heating pattern operates outside L ~ 10 via 'magnetic pumping' an idea developed by Goertz (1978) for Jupiter. We test the model using Cassini electron pitch angle measurements at Saturn.
