Finite Gyroradius Effect in Space and Laboratory 1. Radiation belt (Ring current) 2. Auroral phenomena (Substorm current) 3. Shock acceleration and upstream 4. Ion pick-up and its acceleration 5. Reconnection

1. Foreshock ion: Earth≈Venus≠Mars. 2. Solitary structure maintained by ring current ions in the equatorial plane: (1) same size as the auroral bulge at the ionosphere, (2) yet gyroradius size of carrier ion, selectively 3000 km/s velocity (about 50 keV for H+, 200 keV for He+, and 750 keV for O+).

6
Sudden change in field ExB (>50 km/s) is observed e.g., 57 km/s : He + ~ 70 eV H + ~ 17 eV
7
timing Sunward propagation of E (1) single peak of E: lead by SC-3 by 1~10 sec (2) Pi2-like rarefaction of B: simultaneous at all SC 1000~2000 km
8
increase in ion flux decrease in ion flux H + < 90 keV H + > 160 keV
9
increase in ion flux decrease in ion flux He < 350 keV He > 700 keV O < 0.9 MeV O > 1.4 MeV
10
3000 km/s = 50 keV (H), 190 keV (He), 740 keV (O) = Flux increase R B = 200 km (H), 800 km (He), 3200 km (O) 5000 km/s = 130 keV (H), 500 keV (He), 2 MeV (O) = Flux decrease mass-dependent change
11
Westward moving auroral bulge at 19 MLT = a solitary structure in the magnetosphere. This solitary structure is maintained by energetic ions of 3000 km/s speed for all ions. Size (gradient < 500 km) of this solitary structure is comparable to the ion gyro radius of the carrier ions. 1000~2000 km Summary
12
Qualitative difference within R gyro Distribution function Difference cannot be explained by the slight difference in effective energy between SC. R B >> inter-SC distance cannot be due to finite gyroradius effect. gradient is substantially large?
13
Energy-time dispersion (flux increase) time-of-flight? (No) ∆T ~ 10 sec for ∆V D ~ 10 km/s source < 1000 km No finite gyroradius? (Yes) ∆T ~ 10 sec for ∆R B ~ 100 km agree with propagation V DB = 20~30 km/s V DB = 10~20 km/s V DB = 30~50 km/s V DB = 50~100 km/s

ion-scale ? gradient is less than 500 km (5~10 km x 50 sec) cf. R B (= mv/qB) for B ≈ 200 nT condition 50 keV200 keV1 MeV H+H+ v = 3000 km/s R B = 150 km v = 6000 km/s R B = 300 km v = 14000 km/s R B = 700 km He + v = 1500 km/s R B = 300 km v = 3000 km/s R B = 600 km v = 7000 km/s R B = 1400 km O+O+ v = 700 km/s R B = 600 km v = 1500 km/s R B = 1200 km v = 3500 km/s R B = 3000 km R B (H + ) ≤ gradient ≤ R B (He + ) << R B (O + )

Drift motion V B energy (mass independent) V ExB = constant (energy mass) 50 keV H+ drift = 15 km/s 190 keV He+ drift = 60 km/s 740 keV O+ drift = 220 km/s Simultaneous appearance & much faster than the motion of the E-structure a solitary structure to maintain the flux peak
