*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 14, Number 24 June 1, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Participation: Inner Magnetosphere/Storms Campaign Session on "Quantification of electron and ion loss rates from the radiation belts" at the GEM 2004 Workshop, Snowmass, CO, June 21-25 ------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Richard Thorne Paul O'Brien Flux variations in the radiation belts are caused by an imbalance between source and loss processes. Quantification of loss rates are required in order to assess the importance of any storm-time acceleration process. The Inner Magnetosphere/Storms Campaign will have a session at the summer 2004 GEM Workshop on Tuesday morning dedicated entirely to the "The quantification of electron and ion loss rates from the radiation belts." Presentations dealing with either the observation of losses or theoretical calculation of various loss processes/rates are solicited. Inquiries should be directed to either of the two co-chairs of the session as listed above. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |To subscribe GEM Messengers, send an e-mail to | | with the following command in the body of your e-mail message: | | subscribe gem | |To remove yourself from the mailing list, the command is: | | unsubscribe gem | | | |To broadcast a message to the GEM community, please contact Peter Chi at | | | |Please use plain text as the format of your submission. | | | |URL of GEM Home Page: http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/Welcome.html | |Workshop Information: http://gem.rice.edu/~gem | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
