5. Radiation Belt Storm Probes SRMDR5 Overview Science Objective: Measure electric fields associated with a variety of mechanisms causing particle energization, scattering and transport in the inner magnetosphere. These mechanisms include: Energization by the large-scale convection E-field. Energization by substorm injection fronts propagating in from the tail. Radial diffusion of energetic particles mediated by ULF MHD waves. Transport and energization by intense magnetosonic waves generated by interplanetary shock impacts upon the magnetosphere. Coherent and Stochastic acceleration and scattering of particles by small-scale, large-amplitude plasma structures, turbulence and waves (EM and ES ion cyclotron waves, kinetic Alfven waves, lower hybrid, small scale magnetosonic waves,solitary waves, other non- linear structures) EFW measurements address all 8 of the RBSP science goals with a lesser contribution to goal 6

6. Radiation Belt Storm Probes SRMDR6 Science Compliance EFWRBSP Science Objective X identify the processes responsible for the acceleration and transport of relativistic and near-relativistic particles, determine when and where these processes occur, and determine their relative significance. X identify the processes responsible for the precipitation and loss of relativistic and near relativistic particles, determine when and where these processes occur, and determine their relative significance. X quantify the processes that lead to the formation and subsequent decay of transient radiation belt structures. X quantify the relative contribution of adiabatic and non-adiabatic processes on the acceleration, transport, and loss of energetic particles X determine the role of "seed" or source populations for relativistic particles. X quantify the effects of the ring current and related storm phenomena on relativistic particles X quantify how and why the ring current and associated phenomena vary during storms X use the science understanding to improve and validate physics-based data assimilation and specification models for the Earth’s radiation belts
