- Origin of energetic electron precipitation >30 keV into the atmosphere (2010, background): “Electrostatic waves generally resonate and scatter electrons in the 0.1–10 keV energy range [e.g., Horne and Thorne, 2000] are therefore too low in energy.”
- Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, background): “These waves are excited by the loss cone instability of injected plasma sheet electrons [e.g., Horne and Thorne, 2000].”
- Modeling the propagation characteristics of chorus using CRRES suprathermal electron fluxes (2007, background): “Low energy (< 16 keV) electrons 174 are subject to strong diffusion loss during resonance with electrostatic electron cyclotron 175 harmonic (ECH) waves [Horne and Thorne, 2000] and whistler-mode chorus [Glauert and 176 Horne, 2005].”
- Survey of upper band chorus and ECH waves: Implications for the diffuse aurora (2009, background): “This suggests that ECH waves will scatter electrons at small pitch angles into the loss cone effectively and also scatter electrons over a range of pitch angles from just outside the loss cone up to a = 60 [Horne and Thorne, 2000].”
- Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, background): “…whistler mode chorus waves have received the most extensive investigations [e.g., Kennel et al., 1970; Lyons, 1974c; Inan et al., 1992; Villalón and Burke, 1995; Horne and Thorne, 2000; Horne et al., 2003; Ni et al., 2008; Meredith et al., 2000, 2009; Su et al., 2009, 2010; Thorne et al., 2010].”
- Testing loss mechanisms capable of rapidly depleting relativistic electron flux in the Earth's outer radiation belt (2004, background): “Also, what mechanism caused the electrons to be scattered and precipitated into the atmosphere? Several mechanisms have been suggested which could explain the observed precipitation, including scattering due to increased field line curvature and interaction with waves such as electron cyclotron harm”
- Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons by whistler‐mode chorus: Contribution to diffuse auroral precipitation (2008, background): “[Horne and Thorne, 2000], leading to strong diffusion precipitation over a broad range of energies between 200 eV to 10 keV.”
- The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “These waves are excited by the loss cone instability of injected plasma sheet electrons (e.g., Horne and Thorne 2000).”
