Spectral characteristics of waves and particles in the model of cyclotron wave-particle interactions near plasmapause

Abstract

Further analysis of energetic electron precipitation at the evening sector of magnetosphere is performed. In the framework of the quantitative model of cyclotron wave-particle interactions developed in the previous Pasmanik et al. paper, the case of finite spread over energies of initial energetic electron distribution is studied. The solution for distribution function of energetic electron is found. The energetic spectrum of trapped and precipitating electrons and whistler wave spectrum are analysed.Key words. Magnetospheric physics (energetic particles · precipitating; energetic particles · trapped); · Space plasma physics (wave-particle interactions).
