Conclusions
CLUSTER II is going to see some interesting physics in the cusp! (Wish it had been 1997)
CDC may explain the origin of MeV electrons.
CDC may explain Jovian type II bursts too.
CDC scale for the planets predicting radiation belts:
- Mercury 4keV. Venus ~eV, Mars ~ eV, Jupiter 30 MeV
- Saturn = Uranus = Neptune = 1 MeV. Pluto=?
CDC may account for non-equilibrium, power law tails in the plasmasheet electron & ion distributions.
CDC give radiation belt models a new life to live.
