This grant will continue an investigation of the interaction                between waves and particles in magnetospheric plasmas with emphasis             on the problem of oblique wave growth and the associated rate of                particle scattering.  Quantitative models will also be developed for            the effect of such scattering on the average rate of loss of                    geomagnetically-trapped particles (the Van Allen radiation belts) the           concomitant energy deposition into a planetary ionosphere, and the              anticipated changes in the height-profile of ionospheric conductivity           and its effect on the bulk transport properties of magnetospheric               plasma.                                                                             This work will be important to an understanding of the life cycle           of the Van Allen radiation belts.  It is thought that the plasma                waves to be studied here are a major factor in controlling the Van              Allen radiation belt populations.
