Rapid Loss of Relativistic Electrons by EMIC Waves in the Outer Radiation Belt Observed by Arase, Van Allen Probes, and the PWING Ground Stations

Abstract There has been increasing evidence for pitch angle scattering of relativistic electrons by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. Theoretical studies have predicted that the loss time scale of MeV electrons by EMIC waves can be very fast, suggesting that MeV electron fluxes rapidly dec...
