Wave-induced loss of ultra-relativistic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts

The dipole configuration of the Earth's magnetic field allows for the trapping of highly energetic particles, which form the radiation belts. Although significant advances have been made in understanding the acceleration mechanisms in the radiation belts, the loss processes remain poorly unders...
