Abstract:

Contents Crude approximations to some aspects of three-dimensional magnetospheric dynamics Effect of instabilities on ring current Evaluation of limit on stably trapped particle flux Particle lifetimes in strong diffusion Particle saturation of the outer zone Trapping of particles by waves in a non- uniform plasma Phase-integral approximation of Pc-4 eigenfrequencies Necessary conditions for bounce-resonant wave amplification Electromagnetic radiation from a helically phased particle beam Computer simulation of an ion beam antenna Radiation from a line source carrying a traveling wave in a magnetoplasma.
