• Radiation belt electron acceleration by chorus waves during the 17 March 2013 storm (2014, background): “Peaks observed in the electron phase space density (PSD) [Green and Kivelson, 2004; Iles et al., 2006; Chen et al., 2007; Reeves et al., 2013] in the heart of the outer radiation belt suggest that an internal local acceleration process is operating.”
• Statistical characteristics of particle injections throughout the equatorial magnetotail (2014, background): “Wave acceleration in the radiation belts can then further energize these seed populations to relativistic energies, at which point they pose a risk to societal assets like telecommunication and navigation satellites [Kappenman et al., 1997; Chen et al., 2007; Turner et al., 2010].”
• Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, background): “However, recent analyses of energetic electron phase space density clearly indicate a peak in the radial profile near L∼5 [Chen et al., 2006, 2007; Ni et al., 2009a, 2009b], which becomes more pronounced as the electron flux is enhanced in the recovery phase of a storm.”
• Event‐specific chorus wave and electron seed population models in DREAM3D using the Van Allen Probes (2014, background): “Recent data have shown that the electron PSD can peak at L* regions (L* is the third adiabatic invariant [Roederer, 1970]) inside geosynchronous orbit, leading to a greater emphasis on local heating as the acceleration mechanism for radiation belt electrons [Chen et al., 2007].”
• Helium, Oxygen, Proton, and Electron (HOPE) Mass Spectrometer for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission (2013, background): “2009) and, in particular, for equatorially-mirroring electrons (e.g. Taylor et al. 2004; Chen et al. 2007) as evidenced by peaks in the radial profiles of phase space density (e.”
• The interaction of ultra-low-frequency pc3-5 waves with charged particles in Earth’s magnetosphere (2017, background): “However, the PSD gradient can be highly dynamic during active geomagnetic conditions (Chen et al. 2007; Turner et al. 2010).”
• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, unknown): “…peaks in energetic electron phase space density have been identified in the heart of the outer radiation zone (L ≈ 5) (Green and Kivelson 2004; Chen et al. 2006b, 2007), which support earlier theoretical studies of the importance of local stochastic acceleration (Summers et al. 1998; Horne…”
