| Session Description | Exploration of the magnetosphere by recent satellites such as THEMIS, the Van Allen Probes, MMS, and Arase provides fruitful clues in understanding wave-particle interactions and their role in transferring energies between different populations of particles. Different modes of plasma waves, in particular whistler-mode chorus, hiss, electrostatic electron cyclotron harmonic waves, magnetosonic waves, and electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves are closely related to the evolution of energetic particles in the magnetosphere. ULF wave-particle interactions and ULF wave-driven cross-L diffusion are also potentially important in influencing particle behavior and plasma transport. Understanding the generation mechanism of the various wave modes and their global distribution, including their interactions with charged particles is crucial. We invite presentations on recent progress concerning the generation mechanisms of plasma waves, wave-particle interactions and their effects on energetic particles in the magnetosphere. Contributions from all relevant fields, including observations, theoretical studies, numerical modeling, data analysis and laboratory experiments, are welcome. |
