• Relativistic electron loss timescales in the slot region (2009, background): “Here the flux increased dramatically by over 4 orders of magnitude over a period of 3– 4d ays [Baker et al., 2004] due to a combination of enhanced inward radial transport driven by Pc-5 ULF waves [Loto’aniu et al., 2006] and local acceleration driven by whistler mode chorus waves [Horne et al., 200”
• Modeling radiation belt electron dynamics during GEM challenge intervals with the DREAM3D diffusion model (2013, background): “…models [Li, 2004; Shprits et al., 2005; Tu et al., 2009; Chu et al., 2010], 2D pitch angle and energy diffusion models [Horne et al., 2005; Shprits et al., 2006; Li et al., 2007], and 3D diffusion models that include all three types of diffusion [Albert et al., 2009; Su et al., 2011;…”
• Observation of two distinct, rapid loss mechanisms during the 20 November 2003 radiation belt dropout event (2006, methodology): “Sensitivity experiments show that even when Daa is decreased by an order of magnitude over a 15 pitch angle range at a location away from the loss cone, the effective electron lifetime is decreased by a factor less than two [Shprits et al., 2006c].”
• Relativistic turning acceleration of resonant electrons by coherent whistler mode waves in a dipole magnetic field (2007, background): “A physical mechanism that can account for the storm-time generation of relativistic electrons is cyclotron resonance with whistler mode chorus waves outside the plasmasphere [Summers et al., 1998, 2002, 2004; Roth et al., 1999; Summers and Ma, 2000; Meredith et al. ,2 002;Albert, 2002; Miyoshi et al”
• The Upgraded CARISMA Magnetometer Array in the THEMIS Era (2008, background): “• The electrons in the radiation belt may be locally energized by VLF waves which are most likely to occur in a region just outside the plasmapause (see Horne et al. 2005 and Shprits et al. 2006).”
• The dual role of ELF/VLF chorus waves in the acceleration and precipitation of radiation belt electrons (2007, methodology): “…for electron loss due to pitch-angle diffusion can be roughly approximated as the inverse of the diffusion coefficient value near the loss-cone (Shprits et al., 2006b), while that for acceleration is roughly estimated as the inverse of the maximum value of the energy diffusion coefficient.”
• Theory and simulation of the generation of whistler‐mode chorus (2008, unknown): “... due to electron gyroresonance with chorus is a key mechanism for generating relativistic electrons in the region 3 Shprits et ...”
• Parameterization of radiation belt electron loss timescales due to interactions with chorus waves (2007, methodology): “Consequently for creating parameterizations of the energization, the 2D Fokker-Planck should be solved in terms of pitch-angle and energy [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006a ].”

• Timescales for radiation belt electron acceleration and loss due to resonant wave-particle interactions: 1. Theory (2007, methodology): “[10] It should be noted that the definitions of Daa and Dap = Dpa used by Summers [2005] and also in the present paper differ, for instance, from those of Lyons [1974] and Horne et al.”
• Dynamic evolution of energetic outer zone electrons due to wave‐particle interactions during storms (2007, methodology): “The obtained diffusion coefficients are used to solve the modified 2-D Fokker-Planck equation (equation (1)) [ Shprits et al., 2006a ] for the evolution of phase space density f, in which mixed diffusion terms Dap are ignored”
