• Dependence of the quasi‐linear scattering rates on the wave normal distribution of chorus waves (2009, methodology): “Horne et al. [2005] and Shprits et al. [2006a] also found that the ratio of plasma to gyrofrequency can significantly influence chorusinduced scattering rates.”
• Dynamic evolution of energetic outer zone electrons due to wave‐particle interactions during storms (2007, methodology): “Bounce averaging of the local diffusion rates is performed following the method of Lyons et al. [1972], using the equations given by Shprits et al. [2006c] .”
• Rapid scattering of radiation belt electrons by storm‐time EMIC waves (2010, methodology): “[4] Both quasi‐linear [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006] and nonlinear [Albert and Bortnik, 2009] electron scattering mechanisms by EMIC waves are effective only when electrons are in cyclotron resonance with the waves.”
• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, background): “A good estimate for the electron loss timescale is given by 1/hDaai where the bounce‐averaged electron pitch angle scattering rate hDaai is evaluated at the equatorial loss cone angle (aeq)LC [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006c; Summers et al., 2007b; Summers and Ni, 2008; Albert and Shprits, 2009].”
• Three-dimensional simulations of outer radiation belt electron dynamics including cross-diffusion terms (2010, methodology): “Shprits et al. [2006b] calculated bounce‐averaged pitch‐angle and energy diffusion coefficients with the parallel propagation approximation and found that coefficients for field‐aligned waves agree well with those from the PADIE code [Glauert and Horne, 2005] within the mildly oblique wave‐normal‐ ”
• Evolution of electron fluxes in the outer radiation belt computed with the VERB code (2009, result): “As shown in previous studies by Thorne et al. [2005] and Shprits et al. [2006d] , the latitudinal distribution of wave power plays a controlling role in determining scattering rates.”
• Timescales for radiation belt electron acceleration and loss due to resonant wave-particle interactions: 1. Theory (2007, background): “ Shprits et al. [2006b] found that errors associated with the neglect of higher-order scattering are smaller than the inaccuracies associated with uncertainties in the input values of the plasma density and latitudinal distribution of the waves.”
• Parameterization of radiation belt electron loss timescales due to interactions with chorus waves (2007, methodology): “Following Summers [2005] and Shprits et al. [2006b] , we compute the bounce-averaged diffusion coefficients for parallel propagating whistler mode waves due to the principal cyclotron resonance.”
• Timescales for radiation belt electron acceleration and loss due to resonant wave‐particle interactions: 2. Evaluation for VLF chorus, ELF hiss, and electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves (2007, methodology): “…diffusion formalism [Summers and Ma, 2000; Summers et al., 2002, 2004b; Miyoshi et al., 2003; Horne et al., 2005a, 2005b; Varotsou et al., 2005; Shprits et al., 2006a], and a self-consistent wave-particle simulation code [Katoh and Omura, 2004] confirm that electron acceleration by the chorus…”
