The purpose of this monograph is to formulate a quantitative and self-consistent theoretical approach to wave–particle interactions occurring in space plasmas, and present a logical development of the subject. In the Earth’s magnetosphere, Nature has given us a plasma laboratory that is accessible to observations made by radio, magnetic and electric instruments on the ground, and a great variety of instruments aboard rockets and Earth-orbiting satellites. Spacecraft are making similar observations in the more distant solar system. To understand such observations as fully as possible, with colleagues around the world we have been challenged to produce a rigorous description of the energetic charged particle distribution function interacting with electromagnetic. | Cambridge Atfnmpbcr k and SfXMc Science Serin Whistler and Alfven Mode Cyclotron Masers in Space Cambridge 871983 This page intentionally left blank Whistler and Alfven Mode Cyclotron Masers in Space The subject of wave-particle interactions occurring in space plasmas has developed strongly both observationally and theoretically since the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts of energetic charged particles trapped in the Earth s magnetosphere over 40 years ago. These wave-particle interactions are recognized today as being a most important research topic in space plasma physics. This is the first book to provide a full and systematic description of the physical theory of whistler and Alfven cyclotron masers acting in planetary magnetospheres and in the Sun s outer atmosphere. The book introduces current research topics by examining significant problems in the subject. It gives sufficient detail on the topic for readers to go on to apply the methods presented to new problems helping them with their own research. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students working in space science solar-terrestrial physics plasma physics and planetary sciences. Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Sciences Series Editors J. T. Houghton. M. J. Rycroft and A. J. Dessler This series of upper-level texts and research monographs covers the physics and chemistry of different regions of the Earth s atmosphere from the troposphere and stratosphere up though the ionosphere and magnetosphere and out to the interplanetary medium.
