The dual-spacecraft Van Allen Probes mission has provided a new window into megaelectron Volt (MeV) particle dynamics in the Earth’s radiation belts. Observations (up to E ~10 MeV) show clearly the behavior of the outer electron radiation belt at different time scales: months-long periods of gradual inward radial diffusive transport and weak loss being punctuated by dramatic flux changes...

This presentation addresses the theory of shock acceleration as applied to gradual events (the large temporally-extended high-energy events responsible for inclement weather in space), including the basic elements of first-order Fermi and shock drift acceleration at CME-driven shocks, wave excitation (which enhances the efficiency of shock acceleration), the effect of shock obliquity, the...

Klassen, etal discussed observations of a spike event of 55-65 keV electrons which occurred very nearly simultaneously at STEREO A and STEREO B, which at the time were separated in longitude by 38 degrees. The authors associated the spikes with a flare at the Sun near the footpoint of the nominal Archimedean spiral magnetic field line passing through STEREO A. The spike at STEREO A was...
