| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to understand acceleration mechanisms of relativistic electrons in Earth's radiation belt, it is important to understand coupling between electric/magnetic fields and plasma particles. In this study, we developed a new ring current model, which can solve time evolutions of the fields and ring current ions self-consistently. We conducted model-coupling simulations with this new model and our radiation belt model, which solves electron trajectories in arbitrary field configuration, to investigate interaction processes between ULF waves and relativistic electrons. One of our main results is about dependence of radial transport of relativistic electrons on electron parameters such as their energy and pitch angle. We also conducted data analysis study using satellite observation to investigate plasma supply processes to the inner magnetospheric plasma. The results include the upper limit of proton supply from the ionosphere.
