Wave-Particle Interaction Waves: Importance of waves MHD waves, Plasma waves Wave-particle interaction: resonance condition pitch-angle diffusion Radiation belt remediation

Waves in Space MHD waves: frequencies much below ion gyrofrequency MHD modes: Alfven mode, slow and fast modes, entropy mode PC waves: (ULF waves) PC 1 (0.2-5 sec): ~ 1sec, ion cyclotron waves near the subsolar magnetopause PC 3 (10-45sec)-4 (45-150 sec): ~ 1 min, waves generated in the magnetosheath and field resonance along the field in the inner magnetosphere or radial to the field PC 4-5 (150-600 sec): ~3-20 min, outer magnetospheric field-aligned resonance Pi waves: Pi 1 (1-40 sec) Pi2 (40-150 sec): irregular, associated with substorms Measured with magnetometers/electric probes in time series, the Fourier analysis Mode identifiers: Compressional vs. transverse

Waves in Space, cont. Plasma waves: (VLF and ELF waves) Frequencies above the ion cyclotron frequency Measured by radio receivers with antennas (electric dipole for E-field, search coil for B-field) Mode identifier: electrostatic vs. electromagnetic Electrostatic: dB=0, dE along k or k =0 EM modes: dE/dB ~ Vphase Modes: Ion cyclotron Whistlers (hiss, chorus, loin roar) Electron cyclotron, and harmonics Plasma frequency Above plasma frequency Odd-half electron gyro harmonics

Plasma Waves and Their Possible Sources ULF waves Note: some inconsistencies in wave nomenclature: e.g., wave named after freq ranges (ELF, VLF), or wavelengths (Kilometric, myriamteric), or sound (whistler, chorus hiss, lion roars), or plasma physics (ion cyclotron, LHR UHR), discoveres (Farley instability), or plasma mode (electrostatic, electromagnetic). Shawhan [1985]

Wave Properties Frequency: ω=2π/f Wavevector: k Dispersion relation: ω=(k) CMA diagram: (in radio science: no ion effects) ω ~ k diagrams Phase velocity: Vphase = ω/k Group velocity: Wave packet: dω/dk Single wave (dω =0!): dω/dk0

CMA Diagram

Dispersion Relations Co=Cutoff: n=c/Vphase=k=0

MHD Dispersion Relations and Group Velocities (Friedrichs diagram) For Alfven mode: Note that in this expression kx and ky do not need to be 0 but they do not contribute to Vg (but may reduce it). The following physical process explains that the energy propagates along B at a speed of VA , as shown in the figure, and kx and ky both contribute to the energy flux.

Physical picture of signal of point source propagating in anisotropic medium Signal front S-t1=>S-t2 Phase front W: k1-t1=>k1-t2; k2-t1=>k2-t2 Group front (most energy) G1=>G2 Signals in k1 and k2 are in phase only along kg Signals in other regions cancel Phase along kg: where vg = r/t: ray velocity Waves propagate in all directions (not a beam) Net amplitude is seeing only within a narrow angle

Wave Analyses Amplitude (power): as function of time or location (plasma conditions) Propagation direction: k: minimum variance dB perpendicular to k Polarization: linear, circular Source region? local plasma conditions unstable to instabilities at the observed frequency range, particle energy becomes wave energy Free energy that generates a wave comes from non-Maxwellian part of the distribution (hot population, beams, anisotropy) Dispersion relation is not relevant Propagation region? instability conditions not relevant, unless the mode is strongly damped Dispersion relation is satisfied Dispersion relation is (often) determined by the bulk (cold) population Absorption frequency: particles gain energy from waves through resonance Manmade source: active transmission Above the ionosphere: GPS, communication s/c, TV s/c, f >fpe: refraction. Above the ionosphere: RPI, ISIS, f~fpe: refraction, reflection Above the ionosphere: DSX, whistler: field-aligned propagation Below the ionosphere: VLF radars, beacons, f<fpe: waveguide propagation Below the ionosphere: digisondes, f~fpe: refraction, reflection

Resonance Condition Particle motion: Particle motion can be decomposed to Plasma oscillation: ωpe, ωpi Gyro motion: ωce, ωci Field-aligned motion: V|| Guiding center drift motion (perpendicular to B): VD Doppler shift ω = ω0+kV The frequency a particle seen a wave frequency ω0 in its own frame of reference is Doppler shifted frequency, ω In general, when not in resonance, wave field randomly accelerates and decelerates the particle Resonance condition ω = nωce, nωci, nωpe, nωpi; n = 0, 1, 2, … Landau damping: n =0 Dominant modes: n = 1

Wave-particle Resonance Interaction In resonance, the wave field is in phase with the particle motion and will either periodically (or constantly) accelerate or decelerate the particle When wave field accelerates (decelerates) the particle, the particle gains (loses) energy and the wave is damped (grows) Pitch angle diffusion: whistler mode resonates with V|| Drift mode resonance: MHD mode resonates with VD Out of tune: when a resonating particle travel along a field, (B changes) the Doppler-shifted frequency may become out of tune from the resonance condition

Pitch-Angle Diffusion Pitch angle: tan =V/V|| Pitch angle change by a wave Electrostatic wave (k||dE, or k=0: not propagating) dE along B dE perpendicular to B EM wave (kdB) Linear dB Circular dB Magnetic field cannot do work (in the particle frame of reference where resonance occurs) For a resonance particle, it loses or gains energy in the plasma frame Pitch angle change: d|VxdB| Pitch angle diffusion: Particles may have equal chances to gain or lose energy as the phases of gyration and the wave are random Pitch angle Diffusion: if there is a loss-cone in the distribution function and the particles that are scattered into the loss-cone will be lost to the atmosphere.

Radiation Belt Remediation Abel and Thorne, 1998 Precipitation lifetime (days) L-shell Lifetime of radiation belt particles are very long, in particular electrons Objective: Mitigate threats to low-earth orbit satellites (LEO) from energetic electrons by shortening their lifetime. Energy range: 0.5~2.5 MeV L-range: 1.7~3.5 Approach: pitch-angle scattering by whistler mode waves

Signal amplitude vs. station-footprint distance Signal amplitude, dB 10dB/1000km DHO Distance, km

from ground-based transmitters VLF power in space from ground-based transmitters Peak electric field amplitude:  100 V/m Assuming whistler wave phase velocity: ~ 0.1 c Magnetic field amplitude at foot: 2×10-11 T (20 pT) Poynting Flux: 510-9 W/m2 Total flux: ~ 50 kW out of 500 kW Ionospheric coupling factor < 10% No evidence for wave trapping/amplification in low L-shells Requires 1 MW transmitter

Manmade Whistler Waves: Space-borne Transmitters Questions to address: Orbit Frequency Power Space-borne transmitter: Equatorial orbit: +: long wave-particle interaction time –: low transmission efficiency, (plasma conditions) –: large spatial area, more power needed –: more expensive, Low-orbit: +: high transmission efficiency- (high frequencies) +: target only 10% of harmful population (energy selective) =>low power, small spatial area, +: low launch costs –: shorter wave-particle interaction time

Low-earth Orbit Relativistic Electron Remediation System

LORERS Scenario Low-altitude (~3000 km) high-inclination (~50°) orbit flying above LEOs (~1000 km) across feet of flux tubes of radiation belt. Tune to frequencies to clean 0.5~2.5 MeV electrons with pitch angles that have mirror points below 1500 km. As a result of natural pitch angle diffusion, the lowest mirror point continues to move down from 1500 km after cleaning Revisit the same region before the lowest mirror point reaches 1000 km due to natural pitch angle diffusion Re-clean 0~1500 km. Natural diffusion is the main diffusion mechanism. LORERS only helps to speed up the diffusion process at the feet of the field lines, which is less than 10 % of the total population.
