• Timescale for radiation belt electron acceleration by whistler mode chorus waves (2005, background): “While previous estimates have generally been favorable, they have assumed field-aligned waves [Summers et al., 2002, 2004] and a uniform distribution of wave power in magnetic local time (MLT) [ Horne et al., 2003b ].”
• Testing loss mechanisms capable of rapidly depleting relativistic electron flux in the Earth's outer radiation belt (2004, background): “... which could explain the observed precipitation, including scattering due to increased field line curvature and interaction with waves such as electron cyclotron harmonic waves (ECH) [Horne and Thorne, 2000], electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves (EMIC) [Summers and Thorne, 2003; Albert, 2003; Lore”
• Dynamics of the Earth’s Particle Radiation Environment (2009, background): “…magnetic activity outside the plasmasphere (Meredith et al. 2000, 2001, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c) in regions where the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the electron gyrofrequency is low, which is the condition required for efficient electron diffusion to higher energies (Horne et al. 2003b).”
• Electron acceleration in the Van Allen radiation belts by fast magnetosonic waves (2007, background): “…mode chorus waves is an important mechanism for local acceleration [Horne and Thorne, 1998; Summers et al., 1998, 2002; Meredith et al., 2002; Horne et al., 2003, 2005a], and was shown to be particularly effective in accelerating electrons during the 2003 Halloween magnetic storm [Horne et…”
• Substorm dependence of plasmaspheric hiss (2004, methodology): “Since the minimum resonant energy decreases with increasing L, the data here suggest that the outer boundary of the quiet time slot region should be found at progressively higher L values for decreasing energies, as previously observed [e.g., Lyons et al., 1972; Horne et al., 2003a].”
• Three-dimensional simulations of outer radiation belt electron dynamics including cross-diffusion terms (2010, background): “Such substantial enhancement of flux has been regarded as the result of cyclotron wave‐particle interactions [Horne and Thorne, 1998; Summers et al., 1998, 2004, 2007a, 2007b; Roth et al., 1999; Summers and Ma, 2000; Horne et al., 2003a, 2005; L. Li et al., 2005; Iles et al., 2006; Xiao et al., 20”
• Simulation of the outer radiation belt electrons near geosynchronous orbit including both radial diffusion and resonant interaction with Whistler‐mode chorus waves (2005, background): “[4] Recent theoretical studies show that resonant interactions with whistler-mode chorus waves are capable of accelerating electrons to relativistic energies [Horne and Thorne, 1998; Summers et al., 2002; Horne et al., 2003, 2005].”
• Timescale for MeV electron microburst loss during geomagnetic storms (2005, methodology): “…[Thorne et al., 2005] has shown that the combined effect of pitch angle and energy diffusion leads to the observed development of flat-topped pitch angle distributions (with steep gradients near the loss cone) [Horne et al., 2003b] and peaks in phase space density [Green and Kivelson, 2004].”
• Dependence of the quasi‐linear scattering rates on the wave normal distribution of chorus waves (2009, result): “The results of the code have been compared to previous studies [e.g., Horne et al., 2003, 2005; Albert, 2005].”
• Energetic outer zone electron loss timescalesduring low geomagnetic activity (2006, methodology): “Outside of the plasmapause, whistler mode chorus waves can contribute effectively to the loss of energetic electrons [ Horne and Thorne, 2003; O’Brien et al., 2004; Thorne et al., 2005a; Summers et al., 2005].”
• Systematic analysis of equatorial noise below the lower hybrid frequency (2004, background): “Our results suggest an analogy with natural emissions of whistler-mode chorus (generally observed above flh), which are also very intense, and which are believed to significantly influence the dynamics of the energetic electrons in the Earth’s outer radiation belt (Meredith et al., 2003; Horne et al”
