Collaborative Research: GEM--Stormtime Particle Transport Studies in More Realistic Models of the Inner Magnetosphere

该项目将使用分析方法来描述磁暴期间环电流离子和电子的演变。在分析研究中，将使用比以往更为实际的磁场和电场。它将研究内磁层中粒子的径向输运和损失机制，并研究环电流及其相关磁场在粒子动力学中的作用。电子和离子的运动将用哈密顿的形式来描述。这种形式将允许模型处理粒子运动，甚至在环电流区域（L ~ 2）的内边界附近。

This project will use an analytical approach to describe the evolution of ring current ions and electrons during magnetic storms. A more realistic magnetic field and electric field will be used than has previously been done in analytic studies. It will examine the radial transport and loss mechanisms of particles in the inner magnetosphere and will examine the role the ring current and its associated magnetic field play on the particle dynamics. The motion of both electrons and ions will be described using a Hamiltonian formalism. This formalism will allow the model to treat the particle motions even near the inner boundary of the ring current region (L ~ 2).
