Amplitude Dependence of Nonlinear Precipitation Blocking of Relativistic Electrons by Large Amplitude EMIC Waves by Jacob Bortnik, Jay M. Albert, Anton Artemyev, Wen Li, Chae‐Woo Jun, Veronika S. Grach, Andrei G. Demekhov

“…Results show that while low‐density EMIC waves cannot precipitate electrons below ∼16 MeV, the high density EMIC waves drive a range of linear and nonlinear behaviors including phase bunching and trapping. In particular, a nonlinear force bunching effect can rapidly advect electrons at low pitch‐angles near the minimum resonant energy to larger pitch angles, effectively blocking precipitation and loss. …”
