Description

Wave-particle interactions play crucial roles in both wave excitation and particle energization processes in planetary magnetospheres. The acceleration mechanism of radiation belt electrons by wave-particle interactions in the terrestrial magnetosphere occurs universally in other magnetized plantes. We discuss similarities and differences of the process occurring in the planetary magnetospheres.
