Scientific paper

The present investigation has the objective to study the precipitation of energetic electrons into the ionosphere due to the interaction of these particles with short-duration VLF waves in the magnetosphere. The physics of the interaction is considered, taking into account the wave structure, the energetic particle distribution, wave-particle interaction, and the computation of the precipitated flux versus time. The obtained formulation is applied to various different magnetospheric conditions. Attention is also given to peak flux and total deposited energy. The results of the investigation demonstrate the role of the energetic particle distribution function, the normalized wave frequency, the L value of the path of propagation, the cold plasma density, and the wave intensity. The precipitated energy flux that would be observed at 1000-km altitude is presented as a function of time relative to the injection of the wave pulse at the same point.
