| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The radiation belt consists of the energetic charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. External transport and internal acceleration have been thought to rebuild the radiation belt. For external transport, magnetospheric electric field is important to transport energetic particles into the radiation belt. Using simulation, we successfully reproduced strong westward electric field that appears with oscillation, which transports energetic particles inward and results in temporal reduction during substorms. For internal acceleration, transport of keV electrons and wave-particle interaction are important to generate relativistic electrons. We successfully reproduced the reversal of the convection electric field that is responsible to the transport of keV electrons after substorm. The wave-particle interaction is found to take place efficiently to accelerate keV electrons to MeV range a few hours after the beginning of a magnetic storm.
