• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, background): “…been recognized due to its dual role in both the acceleration and precipitation of radiation belt energetic electrons [e.g., Horne and Thorne, 2003; Horne et al., 2005a; Thorne et al., 2005a; Albert, 2004, 2007; Bortnik and Thorne, 2007; Summers et al., 2007a, 2007b; Shprits et al., 2008, 2009b].”
• Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, background): “Chorus is important since it plays a dual role in both the loss and local acceleration of radiation belt electrons [Bortnik and Thorne, 2007] and is the dominant scattering process leading to diffuse auroral precipitation [Ni et al., 2008; Nishimura et al., 2010; Thorne et al., 2010].”
• Modeling the propagation characteristics of chorus using CRRES suprathermal electron fluxes (2007, background): “…specific energy channels have been chosen for a number of reasons: firstly, the range 0.213–16.5 keV was chosen because the suprathermal electron energies responsible for Landau damping of chorus waves fall comfortably within it, typically near 1 keV [e.g., Bortnik and Thorne, 2006, Figure 3d].”
• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “Chorus is important because it plays a dual role in both the loss and local acceleration of radiation belt electrons (Bortnik and Thorne 2007) and is the dominant scattering process leading to diffuse auroral precipitation (Ni et al. 2008; Nishimura et al. 2010; Thorne et al. 2010).”

• Radiation belt electron acceleration by chorus waves during the 17 March 2013 storm (2014, background): “Outer radiation belt electron fluxes are highly variable during geomagnetic storms due to a competition between various loss and acceleration processes [Reeves et al., 2003; Bortnik and Thorne, 2007; Li et al., 2006; Li et al., 2007; Xiao et al., 2009; Thorne, 2010; Turner et al., 2013].”

• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons by whistler‐mode chorus: Contribution to diffuse auroral precipitation (2008, background): “[11] The importance of lower-band whistler-mode chorus to radiation belt electron dynamics has recently been recognized due to its dual role in both the precipitation and acceleration of relativistic radiation belt electrons [e.g., Thorne et al., 2005; Bortnik and Thorne, 2007; Li et al., 2007].”
