<p>Correlations between chorus waves and plasmaspheric hiss have been directly observed, leading to the proposition that the two wave modes are causally linked. Ray tracing simulations have confirmed that chorus waves can propagate into the plasmasphere and be a source of plasmaspheric hiss, but only for a specific set of initial conditions, particularly relating to the orientation of the wave vector at the chorus source. In this study, both survey and burst mode observations from the Van Allen Probes EMFISIS Waves instrument are coupled with ray tracing simulations to determine the fraction of chorus wave power that exists with the conditions required to enter the plasmasphere. In general, it is found that only a small fraction (< 2%) of chorus wave power exists with the required wave vector orientation. An exception is found when the chorus source is located close to a plasmaspheric plume. Here, azimuthal density gradients modify the wave propagation to permit a large fraction, up to 94%, of chorus wave power to access the plasmasphere. Therefore plasmaspheric plumes are identified as an important access region if a significant fraction of chorus wave power is to enter the plasmasphere and be a source of plasmaspheric hiss. To provide context, we note that plumes are most commonly observed on the dusk side whereas chorus wave power typically peak on the dawn side. The post-noon sector, where these two statistical distributions overlap, appears to be key for observing correlations between chorus and hiss. As such, particular attention is devoted to this region.</p>

<p>Whistler mode chorus waves play a vital role in the Earth’s outer radiation belt dynamics through the cyclotron resonant pitch angle diffusion.     Recent numerical studies have shown that the temporal and spatial variability of wave growth parameters have universal importance for the diffusion process, which should be much larger than those in the traditional averaged diffusion model.       In the present study, we analyzed both the temporal and spatial coherence of chorus wave in a statistical method using data from the EMFISIS instrument onboard the Van Allen Probes A&B from November 2012 to July 2019. In total, we find 3,875 chorus wave events to calculate the correlation of wave amplitudes between Van Allen Probes A&B.      The results show that both the spatial and temporal correlation of chorus waves decrease significantly with increasing spacecraft separation and time lag, and the spatial and temporal coherence of chorus wave only last ~433 km and ~12 s. We also find that the spatial coherence of chorus waves is higher at L>6, on the dayside, or with a lower geomagnetic index (AL*), while the temporal coherence of chorus waves does not depend on the L-shell, geomagnetic index (AL*) or magnetic local time (MLT). Our results will increase the accuracy of modeling wave-particle interactions due to chorus waves.</p>

The importance of image simulation in interpreting experimental lattice images is well established. Normally, in carrying out the required theoretical calculations, only zero order Laue zone reflections are taken into account. In this paper we assess the conditions for which this procedure is valid and indicate circumstances in which higher order Laue zone reflections may be important. Our work is based on an analysis of the requirements for obtaining structure images i.e. images directly related to the projected potential. In the considerations to follow, the Bloch wave formulation of the dynamical theory has been used.The intensity in a lattice image can be obtained from the total wave function at the image plane is given by: where ϕg(z) is the diffracted beam amplitide given by In these equations,the z direction is perpendicular to the entrance surface, g is a reciprocal lattice vector, the Cg(i) are Fourier coefficients in the expression for a Bloch wave, b(i), X(i) is the Bloch wave excitation coefficient, ϒ(i)=k(i)-K, k(i) is a Bloch wave vector, K is the electron wave vector after correction for the mean inner potential of the crystal, T(q) and D(q) are the transfer function and damping function respectively, q is a scattering vector and the summation is over i=l,N where N is the number of beams taken into account.
