• Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era (2019, background): “Magnetosonic waves are suggested to be another potential mechanism of accelerating radiation belt electrons through Landau resonance and transit‐time scattering (Bortnik et al., 2015; Bortnik & Thorne, 2010; Horne et al., 2007; J. Li, Ni, et al., 2014).”
• Global distribution of equatorial magnetosonic waves observed by THEMIS (2013, methodology): “…and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) data provided the global electric field intensity distribution in the frequency band of 0.5fLHR < f < fLHR, but the CRRES data coverage was very limited on the dayside close to the equator, where MS waves are expected to frequently occur [Chen et al., 2010].”
• Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, background): “Test particle scattering of electrons in a finite amplitude MS wave have confirmed the rate of Landau resonant scattering [Bortnik and Thorne, 2010]”
• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “Test particle scattering of electrons in a finite amplitude MS wave have confirmed the rate of Landau resonant scattering (Bortnik and Thorne 2010) and demonstrated additional non-resonant transit time scattering due to the equatorial confinement of MS wave power.”
• Global simulation of magnetosonic wave instability in the storm time magnetosphere (2010, background): “Furthermore, owing to the equatorial spatial confinement, energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt can be subject to nonresonant transit time scattering, in addition to the Landau resonant scattering predicted by quasi‐linear theory [Bortnik and Thorne, 2010].”
