Rapid acceleration of electrons in the magnetosphere by fast-mode MHD waves
Danny Summers, Chunyu Ma
During major megnetic storms, enhanced flux of relativistic electrons in the inner magnetosphere have been observed to correleated with ULF waves. The enhancements can take place o…

A Model for Generating Relativistic Electrons in the Earth's Inner Magnetosphere Based on Gyroresonant Wave-Particle Interactions
Danny Summers, Chun-yu Ma
During the recovery phase of a magnetic storm, fluxes of relativistic ( MeV) electrons in the inner magnetosphere () increase to beyond pre-storm levels, reaching…

Formation of Power-law Energy Spectra in Space Plasmas by Stochastic Acceleration due to Whistler-Mode Waves
Chun-yu Ma, Danny Summers
A non-relativistic Fokker-Planck equation for the electron distribution function is formulated incorporating the effects of stochastic acceleration by whistler-mode waves and Coulo…
