In addition to parallel electric fields, the distortions in the geomagnetic field have been considered in the study of resonant whistler wave interaction with gyrating charged particles. Mead axisymmetric distortions in the geomagnetic field have been considered and new expressions for the inhomogeneity parameter, αd, have been obtained. Considering the diffusion of charged particles in pitch angle, the variation in the precipitating electron flux under varying magnetospheric conditions has been computed. The variation in the distribution of trapped charged particles is shown to play an important role in controlling the electron flux precipitated into the lower ionosphere.

AbstractThe charge separation between electrons and ions that exists within an electron plasma density wave can create large electric fields. In 1979 Tajima and Dawson first recognized that the longitudinal component of the field of a so-called “relativistic” wave (one propagating with a phase velocity close to c), could be used to accelerate charged particles to high energies in a short distance [1]. The accelerating gradient of such a plasma wave, Eo, can be approximated—assuming a total separation of electrons and ions in such a wave with wavelength λp = 2πc/ωp—as

In this paper, we propose a sensor for the density and composition of the upper atmosphere (ionosphere), designed for installation on nanosatellites. The relevance and existing problems of direct instrumental studies of the ionosphere at altitudes of 150-500 km are shown. Of the existing types of vacuum meters, the most suitable for autonomous operation at these altitudes are ionization vacuum meters with inverse magnetron primary converters with a cold cathode. However, the existing industrial types of such vacuum meters are unsuitable for operation in the ionosphere due to high concentration of charged particles in the air, resulting in large distortions of the readings. In addition, they have large weight and size characteristics and energy consumption, which exclude the possibility of their installation on nanosatellites. To solve these problems, a mathematical model of the electrophysical processes, occurring in the core of such a converter, was developed which significantly reduced its weight and size characteristics and energy consumption. And to eliminate the influence of charged particles, it is equipped with an electron-ion trap, which additionally made it possible to measure the concentration of electrons and ions in the environment. The design of such a combined converter is described, and calculations of the electric and magnetic fields in the core of the vacuum gauge converter and the electric fields in the interelectrode space of the trap are performed. A method for calculating the current values of such a combined converter has been developed, which makes it possible to estimate the required measurement ranges of the sensor measuring channels. The results obtained allow us to proceed with its experimental design.

Abstract. New evidence reveals that the charged particles can be energized locally in the magnetospheric cusp. The power spectral density of the cusp magnetic fluctuations shows increases by up to four orders of magnitude in comparison to an adjacent region. Large fluctuations of the cusp electric fields have been observed with an amplitude of up to 350 mV/m. The measured left-hand polarization of the cusp electric field at ion gyro-frequencies indicates that the cyclotron resonant acceleration mechanism is working in this region. The cyclotron resonant acceleration can energize ions from keV to MeV in seconds.

In this paper, we analyze the available data on isolated X-ray pulsars, their wind nebulae, and the supernova remnants that are connected to some of these sources. It is shown that the electric fields of neutron stars tear off charged particles from the surface of the neutron star and trigger the acceleration of particles. The charged particles are accelerated mainly in the field of a magneto-dipole radiation wave. The power and energy spectra of the charged particles depend on the strength of the magneto-dipole radiation. Therefore, the X-ray radiation is strongly dependent on the rate of rotational energy loss and weakly dependent on the electric field intensity. Coulombic interaction between the charged particles is the main factor for the energy loss and the X-ray spectra of the charged particles.

Recent lightning simulation experiments have not simulated the influence of blade rotation in the long term after corona inception. This study uses a finite element method and considers the adhesion and collision processes of positive ions, aerosol ions, and neutral particles to establish a two-dimensional positive corona discharge model based on a multicomponent diffusion transport equation. The microscopic distribution of these three types of particles and the influence mechanism of charged particles’ migration under electric fields and wind were studied. The results show that ion migration is affected by both electric field and wind speed. The higher the wind speed, the larger is the deviation amplitude of charged particles along the direction of wind. With an increase in wind speed, the corona current on the receptor surface gradually increases. When the wind speed is 30 m/s, the corona current peak value increases by almost six times when compared with that when no wind is present. From this, it can be inferred that blade rotation reduces the concentration of positive ion in the receptor area, thereby facilitating electron avalanche and streamer-leader conversion.
